Lil Romeo Joins Cast Of New NBC Superhero Drama

Lil Not So Lil Romeo has been cast on NBC’s new superhero drama The Cape, which premiered this month. Romeo will play "Lil Z," a smart alec side-kick to “Pokerface,” another hero who was also just added to the show (played by Michael Irby).

Both characters will play underlings to the show's main nemesis, “Chess” (James Frain).

The Cape is about an ex-cop (David Lyons) accused of murder and left for dead who is out to clear his name and clean up the streets of Palm City, Fla. He takes on the identity of his son's favorite comic book hero to fight Chess.

The Cape airs Monday nights at 9:00 PM on NBC [Hip-Hop Wired].
