In �Loosies� he plays Bobby, a New York pickpocket in his mid-30s who still lives with his mother, dresses in business suits and tells his mom he works on Wall Street when he leaves in the morning. A classy-looking thief, he�s amassing money to pay back his long-absent father�s gambling debts. His footloose life is upended when the young woman with whom he had a one-night stand returns to announce that she�s pregnant with his child.
Facinelli chuckles when asked if the plot came from somewhere in his own background. Actually, he says, �Loosies� is his �updated homage� to the caper films of the 1970s that he fell in love with on TV when he was growing up � Steve McQueen�s films and especially �Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,� which he calls �the whole reason I got into acting. Those films were loose, fast-paced. I wanted to make a movie that reminded me of that kind of genre.�
Facinelli says not much happened with �Loosies� � �I put it away in a drawer� � until a series of fortuitous events found him crossing paths with Corrente. Several years ago Facinelli had auditioned for a role in a film about a group of young guys who get involved with gangsters, but the director at the time thought the Queens-born actor wasn�t right for the script�s Queens-born character. Later, when Corrente took over the film, now called �Brooklyn Rules,� he looked at the old audition tapes, came across Facinelli�s and offered him a role. But the actor was now committed to a TV series and Scott Caan took the role in �Brooklyn Rules.�
