When casting Band of Pirates, Bruce Mercury knew the role of Molly was very special and difficult to play, it required a great actress to pull it off. Elyse Mirto auditioned and beat out over a 100 other woman to be Molly in "Band of Pirates". We are very happy to see Elyse become a leading lady. Elyse Mirto has just finished the lead role in two movies. In "Cowboy Juction", a festival winner and available at Blockbuster, Elyse plays the wife of a man who takes a gay lover and leads a double life with tragic results--Heavy drama performance done very well. The second movie is her the upcoming "Deadly Sins" |
