Hitz Lands Role on Fox's Mob Doctor
PhilBoxing.com Tue, 02 Oct 2012
Boxing fans, Chicago-based boxing promoter Bobby Hitz of Hitz Boxing will appear on tonight's episode of the new Fox TV series, Mob Doctor.
Hitz will play Joey, a bodyguard to mob boss Constantine Alexander, played by William Forsythe.
Forsythe, an avid boxing fan, recently completed filming on "The Bronx Bull" (the sequel to the 1980 Martin Scorsese-directed classic Raging Bull), in which he played the lead role of Jake LaMotta.
The actor and the promoter/actor quickly hit it off and spent over an hour talking about the sweet science before filming their scenes.
Mob Doctor is based on the book: Il Dottore: The Double Life of a Mafia Doctor by Ron Felber and follows Grace Devlin (played by Jordana Spiro), a well-educated doctor who took on her brother's debt to the mob. Grace works off her debt by killing or helping anyone they demand.
Hitz says depending on the popularity of the show, his role will become a recurring one.
This comes in addition to Hitz's own successful web-based reality series, Hitz Boxing, which follows the behind-the-scenes ins and outs of producing his successful boxing shows. The Hitz Boxing show has already garnered over 350,000 views in its first month of production.
Mob Doctor can be seen on Fox affiliates tonight (Monday) at 9pm/8pm CT.
