The upcoming brand new Nickelodeon Original Television Movie "Nicky Deuce", based on a popular children's book by The Sopranos' Steve Schirripa and Charles Fleming, stars iCarly's Noah Munck ("Gibby") as Nicholas Borelli II, a nerdy, over-protected teen who transforms into the title character. Nicholas gets caught in the adventure of a lifetime when his plans to attend math camp go awry and he is sent to spend the summer with an uncle (played by Schirripa) he never knew he had in Brooklyn, New York. A fish out of water at first, Nicholas leans on local kids to help him fit in and winds up mistakenly earning a reputation as a tough guy. When confronted with some questionable dealings, Nicky uncovers family secrets and learns that the mean streets of Brooklyn aren't always what they seem. In addition to Noah Munck, Cristine Prosperi and Steve Schirripa, "Nicky Deuce" will also star actors Michael Imperioli, Vincent Curatola and Tony Sirico from the popular American television drama "The Sopranos", actor Cassius Crieghtney ("Degrassi: The Next Generation"), and actress Rita Moreno ("Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?").
