Marvel’s Agent Carter series has cast Ken Marino (Wet Hot American Summer, Party Down, Burning Love, Marry Me, Children’s Hospital, We’re the Millers) as comic series villain Joseph Manfredi.

Manfredi will be a recurring character and he is described as a “volatile leader in the Maggia crime syndicate” working with other enemies of Peggy Carter.

Marvel Head of Television Jeph Loeb said the following on the character:

“At Marvel, even our villains need a certain degree of charm as they make life difficult for our heroes. Ken brings a quality to Joseph Manfredi that only serves to make him even more menacing, adding another layer of depth to our already outstanding supporting cast.”

Interestingly, in the comics Manfredi is the son of Silvermane and most of his clashes in the comics came with Daredevil.
