Talk Bronx New York

Andy Garcia and Julianna Margulies head to the boogie down Bronx in ‘City Island.’ They play a married couple in a dysfunctional family.

Set in a section of The Bronx called City Island, Vince Rizzo (Andy) is a corrections officer who is taking acting classes behind his family’s back. The movie unfolds as secrets and lies told by family members and his social circle are foiled and the truth comes out. Andy told ET, “…It’s a movie about interrelationships and behavior and predicaments. It’s about the construction of the story, how that tapestry of through lines of all the characters intertwine and sort of like emotional farce and the comedy of errors or lies.”

Also serving as a producer, Andy explained why Julianna was perfect for the role of his wife, Joyce. “I know she has this character in her; this sort of working class character,” he said. “She didn’t want to do her normal hair. She had this wig that she had done for a job that never came through or something and when she put on the wig…it was like perfect.”

‘City Island’ also stars Alan Arkin, Steven Strait, Ezra Miller, Emily Mortimer, and Andy’s real-life daughter Dominik Garcia-Lorida who plays his on-screen daughter. The comedy opens in theaters on Friday, March 19.
