FeedBearCity Movie Cast First Look
Written by NetBear on August 7, 2009 – 6:24 pm -A while back we told you about a new bear-themed movie that was casting for a number of roles. “Romance can be hairy” is the tag line for BearCity, and we’ve got a first look at the handsome acting talent we’re going to see in the film.
Clockwise from top left that’s Brian Keane (NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”), Gerald McCullouch (Bobby Dawson on CBS’ “CSI:Crime Scene Investigation”), Paul Mauriello, Joe Mannetti, Sebastian Le Cause (Chicago) and Stephen Guarino (Logo Television’s “Big Gay Sketch Show”). The ensemble also includes newcomer Joe Conti, Alex Di Dio, Gregory Gunter and James Martinez (CBS’ “Numb3rs”).
Set in New York’s “bear” scene and taking a cue from the popular HBO franchise “Sex and the City,” BearCity follows a tight-knit pack of friends experiencing comical mishaps, emotionally sweet yet lusty romantic encounters and a cast of colorful, diverse characters as they gear up for a big party weekend.
Principal photography for the new romantic comedy will begin August 10th, 2009 for fifteen days in Manhattan and the greater New York area. Co-written by Douglas Langway (Raising Heroes) and Lawrence Ferber, the film will also be directed by Langway.
While he humbly calls it a “bit part role,” Joe Mannetti is appearing in BearCity as “Hot Daddy Bear.” Well, if you’re going to get a professional acting credit added to your name, that sure sounds like a good one to have! And Joe, it’s a cameo appearance, not a bit part. 
Crew credits in the film include Derek Curl and Lewis Tice as Executive Producers, Heidi H. Hamelin as Producer, Michael Hauer as Director of Photography, Racey North as Production Designer, Kathryn Moser as Costume Director and Zoe E. Rotter as Casting Director.
