Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt seems likely the character of Joey Frost is loosely based on Stewie Unger, the youngest-ever WSOP champ in the 1980s, also blessed with a terrific memory and ability to read opponents.
- GoofsJoey Frost's drivers license shows his date of birth as being January 8, 1985 and the issue date for the license is April 25, 1999. That would have made Joey only 14 years old at the time, one year too young for even a learners permit and two years too young for a drivers license. This episode takes place late in 2005 making Joey only 20, one year too young to be legally allowed onto a gambling boat or into a bar.

Featured review
One of the best episodes, especially for the wonderful acting of Lou Taylor-Pucci
CRUISE TO NOWHERE - a great episode of L&O: CI, is really a place for Lou Taylor Pucci (Joey Frost) to shine.
I first became familiar with Lou through this episode. His character - a young poker-playing genius, with the mentality of a little boy is riveting.
One reason I love this series, Is Vincent D'Onofrio's brilliant portrayal of Det. Robert Goren. His off-kilter performance, is what ensnared me, originally, and, I'm sure a lot of other faithful L&O:CI watchers.
It is nice to see a performer with Mr. D'Onofrio's skills work with someone else, such as Pucci, whose work is just as riveting.
Since this episode, I've tried to better familiarise myself with Pucci's work, one of which, is the film THUMBSUCKER, in which Pucci's character, a shy, introverted young man, is the polar opposite of the brash, Joey Frost.
As an episode of this great series, and, in particular, a tour de force for great acting, CRUISE TO NOWHERE is at the top of my list.
