Steven Pasquale Set for USA Pilot OVER/UNDER

According to to Deadline.com, stage and screen star Steven Pasquale is set to star in the USA pilot 'Over/Under.' Bronwen Hughes is set to direct the project, which features a script by Sheila Callaghan.

As described by Deadline, the show is about 'Paul (Pasquale), a day trader with a massive gambling problem who is fired from his job six months after a bad trade costs his firm millions. Shut out of the job market, he and his wife move to Brooklyn. There, Paul finds an unlikely partner, expectant father Marino (Anthony Carrigan), to start a high-end bookie business.'

Pasquale created the role of Fabrizio in the original Seattle cast of The Light in the Piazza but his work on Rescue Me prevented him from realizing the role on Broadway. 

He played the role of Sheriff Joe Sutter in the musical The Spitfire Grill in which he introduced the song "Forest For the Trees." He then scored the lead role of Chris in the 1998 American tour of Miss Saigon. In 2002, he appeared in the New York production of A Man of No Importance in the role of Robbie Faye. He appeared at the Joey DiPaolo AIDS Foundation's concert of The Secret Garden as Archibald Craven.
