NBC’s ‘Allegiance’ Filming On 17th Avenue Tomorrow – Send Us Your Photos!
NBC’s upcoming spy thriller “Allegiance” will be filming in Bensonhurst tomorrow.
Actors and crew members will be milling around 17th Avenue between 78th Street and 81rst Street as early as 6am, a location manager told us. The show, which stars Gavin Stenhouse as a rookie CIA agent, looks pretty great.
Here’s the premise via NBC:
Alex O’Connor, a young idealistic CIA analyst specializing in Russian affairs, learns a shocking secret and his close-knit, affluent family is about to be split apart when it’s revealed that his parents, Mark (Scott Cohen) and Katya (Hope Davis), are covert Russian spies deactivated decades ago. But today the Kremlin has re-enlisted them into service as they plan a terrorist operation inside the U.S. border that will bring America to its knees.
Personally, I’m hoping to bump into Scott Cohen, or as I choose to think of him, Max Medina from “Gilmore Girls.” (Am I the only one who wishes Lorelei ended up with Max?) The pilot is expected to air sometime in January 2015.
Anyway, if you happen to see any film crews, trailers, or actors, snap a couple photos and send them to editor@bensonhurstbean.com and we’ll post them up on the site.
Also, if you live on the aforementioned blocks, don’t forget to move your car! If you can’t move your vehicle before 10pm tonight, call 311 with your license plate number and it will be moved to another parking space, free of charge.
