Lil Rey Howery plays Marv, the owner of a florist shop where Sam gets her first job, with Colin O’Donoghue as a loyal leprechaun, John Ratzenberger as the mayor of Bad Luck, and Adelynn Spoon as Sam’s roommate and best friend Hazel, who believes that she’ll be adopted as soon as she finds a real lucky penny, which Sam is determined to find her.
