Anthony "Tony" Lattanzio is a construction coordinator on The Orville.
Background[]
Lattanzio got his start as a construction foreman on the show Moonlighting in 1989.
The Orville[]
Lattanzio was hired early to oversee construction of the USS Orville's set. Joined by producer Howard Griffith and production designer Stephen J. Lineweaver, the trio visited Fox Studio 15, where the ship set would be built, and discovered the leftover set of American Horror Story and an impressive spiral staircase. They realized that the American Gothic staircase could be remade into a futuristic one, and the ship set could be built as two stories inside the studio. Excited, they hurriedly plotted out the design and construction of a massive, two-story set of a spaceship.[1]
"I knew the project was going to be a large build in a very short window of time," Lattanzio later recalled in The World of the Orville.
And what made it even more exciting is that we were building a spaceship. Seth [MacFarlane] felt we had one chance to get it right and there would be no cutting corners on the way to the finish line. In 40 days, my construction department built over 25,000 square feet of scenery and the greatest thing about it is everyone in the industry is talking about it.[2]
Trivia[]
- Lattanzio was made a member of the Orville's crew in the episode Old Wounds, appearing on the crew manifest as an officer in charge of repairs.
