If you’re a fan ofFrank Grilloand want to hear him talk about his career and projects like Marvel’sWhat If…,End of Watch,Liam Neeson,Joe Carnahan’sBoss LevelandCop Shop,Gerard Butler,Billions,The Purgemovies,The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard,James DeMonaco’sOnce Upon a Time in Staten Island, getting his start on the soap operaGuiding Light, the incredible success ofWolf Warrior 2in China, why he doesn’t take time off, and so much more, you’re in the right place. That’s because I recently conducted a 45-minute interview with the busy actor while he was sitting by his pool at his new house in the Hollywood Hills. Unlike some people that are extremely careful with everything they say, the thing I love about Grillo is his brutal honesty and willingness to talk about anything. Trust me, as you watch this interview you’ll see exactly what I mean, especially when you get to the parts where he talks about why he took on certain roles and the reason he doesn’t like to take breaks, and the reason he doesn’t like to take breaks.
However, before getting to the interview, I’d like to take a moment to talk about directorConor Allyn’sNo Man’s Land– which is the main reason Grillo and I talked. The movie hits select theaters and On-Demand tomorrow and it’s inspired by the real-life “no man’s land” areas along the Texas-Mexico border. The story involves a family living on the border and what happens when the younger son accidentally kills a Mexican immigrant trying to cross into America. Rather than deal with the authorities, the son flees south on horseback into Mexico where he tries to seek forgiveness from the dead boy’s father while being chased by Texas Rangers and Mexican federales. Grillo plays the dad and the film also starsJake Allyn,Jorge A. Jimenez,Alex MacNicoll,Andie MacDowell, andGeorge Lopez.
Check out what Grillo had to say below and further down the page is an exact list of everything we talked about.
