Michael Imperioli joins Chris Estrada's Hulu comedy This Fool in a recurring role

Deadline

In This Fool, Estrada plays a self-described “punk a** bitch” who works at a gang-rehabilitation nonprofit. The Sopranos alum Imperioli will play Minister Leonard Payne, the founder of the gang rehab facility Hugs Not Thugs. "He is fatherly, has a bit of a hair-trigger temper, insightful and pragmatic," according to Deadline. "A former mortgage broker who specialized in foreclosures, Payne had a breakdown that started him on the road to his current non-profit, but he learned one thing along the way, which he imparts to Julio (Estrada): 'I have a bad habit of focusing on other people’s problems so I don’t have to deal with my own.'"
