LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- John Stamos ("ER") and
Robin Tunney ("The Mentalist") star in the Lifetime Original
Movie "The Two Mr. Kissels," based on the shocking true story of
two multi-millionaire brothers who both married the women of their dreams
and wound up dead. "The Two Mr. Kissels" premieres on Saturday,
November 15, at 9PM (ET/PT) on Lifetime Television.
In "The Two Mr. Kissels," real estate mogul Andrew Kissel (Stamos)
marries sporty blond ski instructor, Hayley Wolff (Gretchen Egolf,
"Journeyman"), while his younger brother Rob Kissel (Anson
Mount, "Conviction"), a New York investment banker, marries
social climber Nancy Keeshin (Robin Tunney). On the surface, it seems that
both the Kissel brothers are starting idyllic families. After Rob moves
his family to Hong Kong for a promotion, Nancy grows to resent his long
work hours. In retaliation, Nancy begins a torrid affair and ultimately
kills Rob by drugging him and bludgeoning him to death, igniting worldwide
media frenzy. Years later, Andrew is caught embezzling millions of dollars
to support his increasingly lavish lifestyle and drug addiction. With the
courts breathing down his neck, former business partners turning on him,
and a frustrated and embarrassed wife filing for divorce, Andrew is found
dead in the basement of his Greenwich mansion. The question remains: was
Andrew murdered by one of his many enemies, or did he arrange it himself
in order to escape his living nightmare?
