EXCLUSIVE: Actor Domenick Lombardozzi, who appears in the highly anticipated Martin Scorsese film, The Irishman, has come aboard Boogie, the Focus Features coming-of-age drama written and directed by Fresh Off The Boat author Eddie Huang in his feature debut.

Lombardozzi joins previously announced co-stars Pamelyn Chee, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Mike Moh, Dave East, Perry Yung, Alexa Mareka and Taylour Paige.
