Broadway veteran Ralph Macchio has joined the cast of the film Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, according to Deadline.com.
The film, to be written by John McLaughlin and directed by Sacha Gervasi, is based on the non-fiction book by Stephen Rebello that tracks how Hitchcock decided to make the now-classic film.
As previously reported, Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins will play Hitchcock and Oscar winner Helen Mirren will play the filmmaker’s wife, Alma Reville. Tony Award winner Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel will play Janet Leigh and Vera Miles, respectively, two of the actresses who starred in Psycho. Macchio will portray the classic film’s screenwriter, Joe Stefano.
Macchio starred opposite Robert De Niro in Cuba and His Teddy Bear on Broadway. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the title character in The Karate Kid.
