THE DANGEROUS ADVENTURES AND IMPOSSIBLE MISSIONS

OF THE 21st CENTURY'S BEST UNDERCOVERS

uc covr.jpg

A true-crime docu-series exploring the stories of some of the best undercover operatives of the last 2 decades... and the difficulties they faced living a life where their mission was to befriend and betray. 

The stories will be told in the first-person, by the UCs themselves. 

We have 20 undercovers lined up and willing to participate. 

Producers: Big Frankie, Christian D'Andrea, Rob D'Amico

The UCs

Below are some of the undercover operatives who've signed on to the project (with some headlines from their cases, and some rough Zoom footage to give a sense of who they are).

Big Frankie

He's considered by many to be the most prolific undercover operative in FBI history. 

One of his cases was described by the FBI Director in New York as "perhaps the most significant and successful undercover operation in law enforcement history."  And the op Frankie spearheaded after that one was even more intense: he infiltrated the Vegas underworld as a shady manager and fixer of fights, so that he could expose corruption in boxing at the highest levels.

He has never told his story before.  This will be the first time.

Jay

Jay was born in Queens to a reform Jewish family that wanted him to become a doctor or a stockbroker.  But he always wanted to be a cop.  So he earned his shield in Bronx Narcotics and then got his dream posting with the NYPD’s elite Organized Crime Investigative Division.  Soon after, he became an undercover, and a make-believe Italian, and then infiltrated the Lucchese and Bonanno families.

Ari

During Ari's long career as an FBI agent, he worked Group One undercover operations, the most sensitive kind.

 

 

Rob

Rob was with the FBI, where he handled a number of high profile cases, including the Quest crisis (he told that story recently on FBI True) as well as multiple stints undercover.  For years, he lived undercover in the Miami underworld, while targeting and befriending a kingpin named Boca Bob. 

Here is the FBI True trailer about his Quest case...

 

 

Here are some clips from a recent zoom chat, about his undercover adventures while targeting Boca Bob...

 

 

Igor

Born in Russia and raised in the U.S., Igor realized his dream and joined the NYPD, where one of his specialties was going undercover in the world of Russian organized crime.   

 

 

Rich

Rich worked undercover on major public corruption cases for 15 years.
