Emmy Award®-winning actor Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos) and Academy Award®-winning actress Ellen Burstyn (Requiem for a Dream, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore) star in the two-hour television event motion picture Oprah Winfrey Presents: Mitch Albom's For One More Day, premiering Sunday, December 9 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

In the film, based on Albom's bestselling book For One More Day, Imperioli plays Chick Benetto, a broken-down former baseball player who has collapsed into alcoholism and despair. He returns one night to his small hometown with plans to take his life. At the final moment, he is magically granted one more day with his departed mother, Posey Benetto, played by Burstyn, who illuminates the secrets of both their lives and shows him a way to redemption. Samantha Mathis (The Punisher, American Psycho) plays the younger Posey and Scott Cohen (Law & Order: Trial by Jury, upcoming show "The Return of Jezebel James") plays Chick's father, Len Benetto. Michael Imperioli's son, Vadim Imperioli, plays the role of the younger Chick in his acting film debut.

Also starring are Alice Drummond as Rose, Emily Wickersham as Maria, Cara Seymour as Catherine Benetto, Lexie Drago as young Maria, Joyce Hogi as Miss Thelma and Frank Pellegrino as older Len Benetto.
