His character in the episode &#8220;All of Us Are in the Gutter&#8221; is named Munst. &#8220;The Black Donnellys&#8221; is about four young Irish brothers, who are caught up in New York&#8217;s underworld of organized crime.<\/p>\n<p>Official NBC information: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>THE BLACK DONNELLYS they&#8217;re good at heart, but mean on the streets. Meet the Donnelly brothers: Tommy (the smart one), Jimmy (the hot-headed one), Kevin (the unlucky one) and Sean (the pretty boy). There is nothing these four Irish brothers wouldn&#8217;t do to protect each other, and for them that often includes lying, cheating, stealing and, occasionally, calling the cops. Narrated by wannabe gangster Joey &#8220;Ice Cream,&#8221; this gritty series bears witness to the Donnelly brothers&#8217; sudden involvement in organized crime, focusing on how they go from boys to mobsters, and showing how their new life affects their relationships with friends, family and lovers.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Creators of this series are Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco. They are best known for their script of &#8220;LA Crash&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>On October 18, 2006 an article mentions this series. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zap2it.com\/search\/zap-photo-blackdonnellys_nbcupfronts_pg,0,4157008.photo\" target=\"_blank\">Zap2it.com<\/a> writes that when NBC announced its 2006-07 schedule in May, it said &#8220;ER&#8221; would run uninterrupted for 13 weeks in the fall, then take a seat for 13 weeks while the Paul Haggis drama &#8220;The Black Donnellys&#8221; ran its course. &#8220;ER&#8221; would then return for nine more episodes to close the year. But the network hasn&#8217;t settled on a place for &#8220;The Black Donnellys&#8221; yet. There will, however, be a few holes at midseason with the end of &#8220;Sunday Night Football&#8221; and the rough starts for some of NBC&#8217;s other new dramas.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about this series on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/NBC_First_Look\/shows\/donnellys\/#main\" target=\"_blank\">NBC.com<\/a>.
