Tom Benedict Knight stars as Michael Franzese in Sony's God The Father, the life story of 'La Cosa Nostra' BOSS Michael Franzese, the Mob BOSS who became a Minister of the Church.
British actor Tom Benedict Knight shines as Franzese, playing him from his mob days right through to becoming a preacher. Knight has an uncanny resemblance to the former mob
BOSS and was praised for his work by the man himself. Perhaps not surprisingly, Tom is known for his diverse range of accents and has successfully created 31 accents in one single take.
God The Father takes us on an 'untold' personal journey of Michael Franzese, a young and charismatic Capo in the Colombo Mafia during the 1980's-90's and who's notorious father Sonny Franzese was also a renowned Underboss. Following in his father's footsteps, in the mid-1980s, Fortune Magazine listed Franzese as number 18 on its list of the 'Fifty Most Wealthy and Powerful Mafia Bosses'. He renounced the
LIFE OF CRIME in 1987 and began seeking redemption as a Christian.
Since bursting into the acting scene in 2011 Tom Benedict Knight has enjoyed a wide range of roles in features like
KICK ASS 2 alongside Chole Grace Moretz and Arron Taylor Johnson, as well as the upcoming
Universal Studios motion picture Dracula Untold alongside Luke Evans and Dominic Cooper. This talented actor also recently played Houdini's brother Dash in Nicholas Meyer's 4 hour miniseries Houdini, alongside Academy winner Adrien Brody and Kristen Connolly.
God The Father is produced by Moshe Diamant and directed by Simon Fellows, and will be released theatrically in the US on October 31st 2014.
