For many, the obvious draw for the new AMC series Lucky Hank is going to be Bob Odenkirk, the Emmy-nominated actor who is coming off an acclaimed run on Better Call Saul. But the Lucky Hank cast is more than just its leading man.
Lucky Hank is based on the novel Straight Man by Richard Russo, following the mid-life crisis of the head of the English department, Hank Deveraux, at a small college in rust belt Pennsylvania. In addition to Hank, the story follows his fellow professors, students and family, who are being played by a talented ensemble of performers.
