Tony Nominee Thomas Sadoski Will Reunite with Jon Robin Baitz for The Slap

Tony nominee Thomas Sadoski, who appeared on Broadway in Jon Robin Baitz’s Other Desert Cities, will reunite with the playwright once more. According to Deadline, Sadoski is set for The Slap, the upcoming NBC miniseries written and executive produced by Baitz. Sadoski joins a cast that includes the previously announced Tony winner Mary-Louise Parker and Broadway alums Zachary Quinto, Peter Sarsgaard and Brian Cox, as well as Melissa George.

In addition to Other Desert Cities, Sadoski's Broadway credits include Reasons to Be Pretty, for which he received a Tony nomination, The House of Blue Leaves and Reckless.

The Slap is based on the acclaimed 2011 Australian project of the same name. The family drama explodes from one small incident where a man slaps another couple’s misbehaving child. This domestic dispute pulls the family apart, begins to expose long-held secrets and ignites a lawsuit that challenges the values of those pulled into it.
