Andrew Dice Clay, James Jagger and Birgitte Hjort Sørensen have joined the cast of Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese's HBO music-themed pilot.

The project comes from Boardwalk Empire writer Terence Winter, and will star Bobby Cannavale as a struggling record executive at the dawn of punk and disco's popularity.


Clay has been cast as a cocaine-addicted owner of a chain of radio stations in the pilot, following his critically-acclaimed performance in Woody Allen's film Blue Jasmine.

James - who is the son of Rolling Stones star Mick and model Jerry Hall - is portraying Kip Stevens, the frontman of punk band the Nasty Bits.

Sørensen (Borgen) has signed up to play an actress who formerly frequented the New York social circle with Andy Warhol.


Also joining the ensemble cast are PJ Byrne (Horrible Bosses), Joe Caniano (Boardwalk Empire), Ato Essandoh (Copper) and JC Mackenzie (The Departed), reports Deadline.

Olivia Wilde will play Cannavale's on-screen wife, with previously-announced cast members also including Ray Romano, Max Casella and Juno Temple.
