Richard Zelniker’s ‘The Vortex’ Rakes in a Dramatic, Compelling Performance from Comedian Billy Gardell

While audiences have grown used to seeing Billy Gardell in lighter roles, most recently on CBS’ comedy Bob Hearts Abishola, the Pittsburgh native demonstrates a real knack for darker fare. The Vortex might be a game-changer for him.

The Vortex is now playing in select theaters, including The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center in Pittsburgh.
