Comedy veterans Colin Mochrie and Andrea Martin have joined the cast of "Any Way You Want Me," Rana Strazza's romantic drama currently shooting in Toronto. The film, which also stars Callan Potter, Cobie Smulders and Iris Apatow, is designed to evoke classic Hollywood pictures from the 1950s. Strazza, who writes and directs, has assembled a cast distinguished by considerable experience in both theatre and screen work.

The film is set in 1950s New England and follows Billie Blake, who returns to her hometown after her mother inherits a dress shop and must confront her high school boyfriend, who runs the neighbouring diner. Andrea Martin is a Broadway veteran with two Tony Awards from four nominations and an SCTV alumna; Mochrie rose to international prominence through improv work after a theatre background. Fina Strazza, the director's daughter, made her Broadway debut at eight in "Matilda" and received a Tony nomination in 2025. The production, helmed by First Magnitude Films and Stagg Forrest Films, is scheduled to wrap in mid-October.
