Judge Frank Caprio Dies: ‘Caught In Providence' Jurist Whose Clips Have Billions Of Views On Social Media Was 88
Judge Frank Caprio, who starred for two seasons on the syndicated courtroom show Caught in Providence and became a social media star in clips displaying his compassion, kindness and empathy, died Wednesday of pancreatic cancer, his family said. He was 88. The jurist's death was announced on social media. 'Beloved for his compassion, humility, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people, Judge Caprio touched the lives of millions through his work in the courtroom and beyond,' the family's post reads in part. 'His warmth, humor, and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew him.' More from Deadline 2025 Deaths Photo Gallery: Hollywood & Media Obituaries 2024 Hollywood & Media Deaths: Photo Gallery & Obituaries Carol Altieri Dies: Longtime CBS Executive In Program Practices Was 76 Born on November 24, 1936, in Providence, RI, Caprio already had presided over thousands of cases as chief judge of his hometown's municipal court when TV came calling. Caught in Providence began as a local-access show before being picked up in 2000 for a run on Saturday nights on local ABC affiliate WLNE. It would air regionally for years, which many clips going viral, before Debmar-Mercury picked up the show for national syndication in 2018. It ran for two seasons in markets big and small until Caprio's retirement in 2020, and clips from the Citylife Productions show have been viewed billions of times on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and other platforms. In a 2019 interview for Rhode Island Monthly, Caprio said his wife Joyce suggested the local-access TV time should be used to show him at work behind the bench. ' 'I didn't like the idea actually, but of course, when my wife makes a suggestion, I usually don't win that battle,' he said. 'I agreed we would try it and see if it was something that worked. And there was an overwhelmingly positive response.' Watch a clip from Caught in Providence here: 'All the segments of court in Providence are actual court proceedings, so it's not a program and it's not a court show, it's actual real proceedings that are being televised,' Caprio told the magazine. 'We show a slice of life of Rhode Island that is very interesting, and it reflects the same issues people are experiencing nationwide.' He received the Producer's Circle Award at the 2018 Rhode Island International Film Festival. Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said in a statement: 'Judge Caprio's unique brand of compassion and common sense approach to justice caught the attention of daytime TV and social media audiences, making Caught in Providence a fan favorite. We will miss him dearly, and our hearts go out to the Caprio family.' Caprio also served on the City Council for six years during the 1960s and later ran for state Attorney General. After he retired, his former courtroom was renamed The Chief Judge Frank Caprio Courtroom. Caprio appeared as a judge in a 2007 episode Showtime's Providence-set crime-and-politics thriller Brotherhood. His memoir, Frank Caprio Compassion in the Court, was published in February. Along with his wife, Caprio is survived by five children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Dakota Johnson and ‘Splitsville' Co-Stars on Playing ‘Unhappy' Characters, Open Relationships and a Possibly Fake Penis
'Splitsville' may be a rom-com, but Dakota Johnson's character Julie doesn't take part in much of the movie's comedy. 'I liked playing a really sort of unhappy woman,' Johnson told me Tuesday at the film's premiere at AMC the Grove in Los Angeles. More from Variety 'What We Do in the Shadows' Star Harvey Guillén to Receive Icon Award at Raizado Festival (EXCLUSIVE) 'The Pitt' Star Katherine LaNasa Shot Such a 'Disgusting' Scene for Season 2 She Told Producer 'He Needed to Give Me Some Diamonds' 'The Last of Us' Star Bella Ramsey Would Love to Play Spider-Man and Make a Heist Movie With Pedro Pascal 'Splitsville' follows two couples, made up of Julie and Paul (Michael Angelo Covino) and Ashley (Adria Arjona) and Carey (Kyle Marvin). Their lives begin to unravel when Ashley and Carey breakup and it's revealed that Julie and Paul have an open relationship. 'I just love this tone of film,' Johnson said. 'I love Mike and Kyle's comedy, the way they write, the way they work together. I think the subject matter [open relationships] is really interesting and controversial, and I think people are very curious about it.' The cast also includes Nicholas Braun, David Castañeda, Charlie Gillespie, Simon Webster, Stephen Adekolu, Tyrone Benskin and O-T Fagbenle. Marvin and Covino penned the script, and Johnson served as a producer with her TeaTime Pictures co-founder Ro Donnelly. 'Succession' star Braun makes a cameo in 'Splitsville' as a mentalist performing at a children's birthday party. He said the movie had him thinking about open relationships. 'I can't do an open marriage or open relationship,' Braun said. 'I'm too sensitive for that, too jealous. I mean, it's brutal what happens to them in this movie and they're cool about it sort of — but also not. But I couldn't tolerate that. It would be torture. And it feels mean…It's complicated.' The Covino-directed ensemble received a six-minute standing ovation at its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Ahead of its debut in Cannes' Premiere section, 'Splitsville' was acquired by Neon. In one much buzzed about scene, Paul and Carey get into a hilarious and what seems like never-ending fight which results in destroyed walls, furniture and more in Paul and Julie's gorgeous modern lakefront home. The first half of the brawl, on the first floor of the house, was done in one take seven times. 'It was an actual house and we destroyed it,' Marvin told me. 'Everyone was just patching up and trying to figure it [out]…and then we went right away and just beat each other up.' Covino added, 'We destroyed one house multiple times, so technically two or three houses. It was heavily choreographed and heavily rehearsed. After a long day of scouting and prepping, we would go to a bouldering gym where they had deep mats that we could fall on and just throw each other around.' Carey's penis is also seen a couple of times in the movie, most notably during an incident in the opening sequence. Marvin and Covino playfully declined to say if they used a prosthetic. 'No comment,' Marvin said, laughing. 'I think people are going to have to go look and see for themselves and make a choice.' Johnson's starring role in 'Splitsville' follows the recent success of 'Materialists,' her Celine Song rom-com with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans that has earned more $75 million worldwide at the box office. Johnson said, 'I think rom-coms are an incredible genre, so I'm glad that we are having some success.' 'Splitsville' is in select theaters Aug. 22 and everywhere Sept. 5.
