Sometimes you hear someone is cast in a role and you think that is the most brilliant casting job that has ever been done in the history of Hollywood. Well, now all the casting directors out there are going to have to top this because Sharknado 5: Global Warming has cast Fabio as the Pope and Charo as the Queen of England. I kiss their ring, like I would kiss the Pope’s ring. I bow down to them, like I would bow down to the Queen of England. Has any casting agent ever gotten it so right? I think not.
What is the premise for the 5th installment of Sharknado that debuts on August 6th? Syfy describes it as, “The mission gets personal for Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) and his bionic wife, April (Tara Reid) when their young son gets trapped in a traveling ‘nado and transported all over the world. From London to Rio, Tokyo, Rome, Amsterdam and beyond, our globetrotting heroes will seek assistance from a highly-skilled squad of royals, scholars and Olympians, enlisting famous faces from news, entertainment, and sports in their most epic battle yet.”
Charo and Fabio aren’t the only stars making cameos in this future award winner that also stars Tara Reid and Ian Ziering, there are many more most excellent names. To see them, then
