Matt Smith, David "Tokyo" Broom, Kelley Wolf, Julie Stoffer, Jamie Murray, Danny Roberts, and Melissa Beck in THE REAL WORLD HOMECOMING: NEW ORLEANS streaming on PARAMOUNT+ (Akasha Rabut/Paramount+©MTV ENTERTAINMENT 2022, All Rights Reserved) But what we learn in this latest cast reunion, "The Real World Homecoming: New Orleans," is that nostalgia is no match for deep-seated grudges and a level of holier-than-thou ignorance that seems to have first taken root within the womb.įrom the moment Matt Smith, Melissa Beck, Jamie Murray, Julie Stoffer, Kelley Wolf, Danny Roberts, David "Tokyo" Broom come together for the first time since 2000 we see pretty quickly that the personalities of the people who comprised one of the most popular seasons of "The Real World" have not changed one bit and for a few of the people, that's a bad bad look. There was something about that sense of friendship and adventure and loyalty that really drew me in more than anything." The Real World Homecoming" is a great opportunity to dip a toe back into the gloriously nostalgic "fly-on-the-wall" days of early MTV programming without having to fully submerge in all the problematic issues attached to the years in which it originally took place. "Even though it was a dark tale in that defrauding a giant athletic league, there was something aspirational about it," he shared. "There was something about these three guys, I don't know, having a chance to come together and be part of something that was bigger than any of them were on their own. Wolf revealed why he was intrigued by the story, likening it to a classic Shakespearean tragedy. And those things look a lot different in Tommy's world." But ultimately, he was, at his core, a guy who believed in friendship, loyalty and honor.
It was fun to play a guy whose code of ethics was way out of bounds from how I live my life or how a lot of other people might seem to live theirs. And the fun of playing a guy like that is he believes in that morality. He had just an entirely different morality.
KELLY LIMP AND SCOTT WOLF CODE
"With Inside Game, there was a chance to play a guy who had an absolutely different code of ethics. "It was definitely the type of role that I haven't really had a chance to play before," added Wolf, who often plays men of a certain kind - straight-laced rule followers, sometimes with secrets lying in wait. And what was amazing about it was when he called, he said, 'Look, I'm probably the only director in town who knows how perfect you are to play this part,'" Wolf said. "And I lucked out that he was in the position he was in and gave me the chance to play this guy." " knew that this guy, Tommy Martino, was a huge part of kind of who I am energetically. Wolf recalled being "completely bowled over" by the script. "There were elements of this story that just being a sports fan I was aware of but I had no idea about the guys that were involved and how the whole thing took shape and how the whole thing ultimately fell apart." It was one of his closest friends, director Randall Batinkoff, who suggested he play the role of Tommy. "I was familiar with the story just as a basketball fan and a sports fan. But I didn't know much of the details behind it," Wolf said.
Of course, all hell breaks loose when the FBI catches wind of their illegal operation.

Using Tim's connections to refs, coaches, players and owners, the trio bet on professional NBA games. The movie, which is available on Video On Demand and digitally on Tuesday, follows small-time drug dealer Tommy Martino (Wolf), one of the co-conspirators in the infamous scandal, along with childhood friends Tim Donaghy ( Eric Mabius), a NBA referee, and Baba Battista ( Will Sasso), a bookie. Wolf's latest project, Inside Game, tells the story of the 2007 NBA betting scandal, which is considered one of the biggest in modern sports history. I think that's the key because no matter how much you like the people you're self-isolated with, it can start to feel like Groundhog Day in a hurry." "My wife and I are being pretty good about making sure that both of us feel like we're getting enough of that. And we're being pretty good about tag-teaming with each other and making sure that not only are the kids getting what they need but that we're getting what we need," he said. "My wife and I, we just really like each other a lot and that means the world in moments like this.
