Travis, Glaudini Join Cast of ‘Intent’

U.S. actresses Nancy Travis and Lola Glaudini have joined the cast of the big-screen thriller Intent, producers at New Castle Entertainment said Wednesday.

Travis can now be seen in The Bill Engvall Show. She previously co-starred in the sit-com Becker and the films Chaplin and Internal Affairs.

Andrew McCarthy will play her character’s husband and kidnapping victim, David McDowell, in Intent.

Nancy’s very gracious and sincere. We couldn’t be happier, Intent produce Allen Cohen said in a statement.

Glaudini has appeared in more than a dozen movies, such as Blow and Invincible, and more than 20 television series, including Criminal Minds and The Sopranos.

She will play the wife of police detective Mark Gordon in Intent.

Lola has been at the top of our wish list since ever since I finished writing the screenplay. We’re delighted to have her on board, said screenwriter Tim Crockett.

Described as a combination of Silence of the Lambs and CSI, Intent begins with a kidnapping in a suburban neighborhood and leads police on a manhunt that comes full circle, the filmmakers said.

Shooting on the movie is to begin in Michigan in September, New Castle Entertainment said.
