What they don’t know is that there is a much richer target for them, the chance to find hope, self-esteem, and confidence within themselves. Stars Donal Logue (Eugene Gurkin), Maz Jobrani (Gary), Sofia Vergara (Esperanza Villalobos), Kevin Michael Richardson (Rockefeller Butts), Lenny Venito (Francis “Squatch” Scuacieri), Josh Grisetti (Louis Plunk). 13 episodes.
