Pete Davidson is trading his comedic persona for a chilling new role as Tommy Pitera, a feared mob enforcer with a bloody past, in the upcoming crime thriller Tommy Karate. Sporting wild prosthetics and a dramatic wig, Davidson dives headfirst into the gritty world of the Bonanno crime family, portraying a man convicted of six murders and running a drug empire. The film, directed by Justin Chon and co-written with Davidson, follows the DEA agent who brought him down, played by Paul Walter Hauser. It’s a bold departure for the actor, who’s been expanding his range beyond comedy, and he’s even producing the film. With a fresh take on the gangster genre and real consequences at its core, this is one transformation fans won’t soon forget.
