Note about casting: The premise of the show is that Frank, Dean, and Sammy come back to earth and inhabit the bodies of living people. Therefore, none of the actors need to look anything like our stars, they just need to embody their essence.

Bobby Goldberg/Sammy Davis, Jr. - the bartender at Vic’s Place, Bobby has known Vic since he was a kid. Energetic and caring. His body is taken over by Sammy Davis Jr.
William Saunders/Frank Sinatra - Real estate developer who wants to demolish Vic’s Place and build a parking lot for Hooters next door. His body is taken over by Frank Sinatra.
Katherine Kerr/Angie - Mr. Saunders’ secretary. Very type A. Her body is taken over by Angie - An angel sent from above who uses her feminine wiles to influence men.
Jorge Rodrigues/Dean Martin - Easy going guy. English is a second language. He loves the Rat Pack. His body is taken over by Dean Martin.
