Viscardi (Madwoman of Chaillot, "The Sopranos") will portray the former Daily News and New York Post columnist who earned a Pulitzer Prize for his exposé of the New York police torture of Haitian immigrant Abner Louima in 1997. McAlary died of cancer at the age of 41 in 1998.
According to playwright Klores, "Mike’s life was made for theatre. He was filled with energy, genius and courage. He was a tough and shrewd New Yorker with a b.s. barometer that clicked in from the get go."
