Producers of the movie Shakey have scored a cast of veteran actors in addition to newcomers for a film being shot this month in Chicago. Steve Lemme plays J.T., a widower who arrives in Chicago with his dog Shakey and young daughter played by Rylie Behr. Lemme is a veteran of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe best known for the movies Beerfest and Super Troopers while ten year old Rylie Behr hails from Iowa with film experience already under her belt. Executive Producer DeAnna Cooper assures, “She is a pro, a natural pro.”
Beverly D’Angelo has wide ranging experience that began with a mini-series in 1976 and has been working in movies and television ever since. She gained national attention as Chevy Chase’ ever patient wife in National Lampoon’s Vacation movies. Beverly will play the owner of “Chateau Bow Wow” in Shakey.
Steve Guttenberg plays Sergeant Stubs in Shakey and became a household name for his roles in Cocoon and Three Men and a Baby. Alfonso Arau starred in Romancing the Stone as well as The Three Amigos and was director of the critically acclaimed Like Water for Chocolate. He will play Lemme’s foil as Chef Raoul.
