EXCLUSIVE: Another Oscar winner is joining the cast of HBO’s Luck. Mercedes Ruehl has come on board as a series regular for Season 2 of the horse racing drama starring Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman. She plays Julietta Caligari, the mother of Renzo (Ritchie Coster), a role she originates in an upcoming guest appearance on the series’ current freshman season. Luck, from Michael Mann and David Milch, is a behind-the-scenes look at the world of horse racing and gambling’s denizens – owners, trainers, jockeys and gamblers. Hoffman and Nick Nolte, nominated for an Oscar this year, lead the cast of the series, which received a 10-episode second-season pickup last week shortly after its official premiere. Ruehl is with Innovative and manager Craig Dorfman.

I love horse racing, gambling and degenerates but much to my dismay, Luck didn’t get any better in episode #2. I can’t figure out how Mercedes Ruehl is going to give Luck the spark of life it desperately needs, but I’ll hope for the best.
Another old person has been cast in a show full of old people. What type of audience are they going for: senior citizens?? I couldn’t get through 15 minutes of Luck, which is a shame considering how much I loved Deadwood.
Your comment on old person is shocking. I don’t know about this particular show but if you watch actors like Betty White, Bill Cosby, Alfred Molina, Ving Rhames, you might actually learn how much they can bring to the screen.
