180. Interview | ANY DAY NOW Actor Paul Guilfoyle


Listen Later

I interview Paul Guilfoyle, star of the new coming-of-age-meets-heist-film ANY DAY NOW about his relationship to Boston as one of its sons, the Dropkick Murphys, classism, the eternal struggle of discovering (or uncovering) one's authentic self & the delicate balance of being both vulnerable and tough on screen.

In ANY DAY NOW, Guilfoyle plays art thief Marty Lyons. In his plan to rob Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner museum (which is based off of a real though unsolved 1990 robbery), he marks 20-something night watchman Steve (Taylor Gray) as his potential inside man. What starts as strategy evolves into a mentor relationship as Marty's bold pursuits for what he desires allows Steve to build the confidence needed to abandon his identity as a professional doormat.

Guilfoyle brings the comedy, intensity and wisdom to ANY DAY NOW, making for an equally entertaining and thoughtful character study masked in heist film tropes.
