Bobby Cannavale Talks About "Win Win" and Wrestling!

Independent Films, Talk Shows, Movie Reviews, Interviews

Bobby Cannavale co-stars in the new Fox Searchlight dramedy “Win Win.” He plays Terry Delfino, a friend of Paul Giamatti’s Mike Flaherty. I love this movie from writer/director Thomas McCarthy (“The Station Agent,” “The Visitor”). It’s a testament of our human frailties, about losing everything to win!

In this interview, we talked about:

Cannavale’s interest in working on the film and his character
Working with Thomas McCarthy
How he and Giamatti bonded
Did he wrestle when he was in high school?
