 You can tell what a loving father he is by the excitement in his voice when he proudly states, “It worked exactly the way I thought it would. He’s excited about it. All the kids in his school think I’m really cool.” His son’s interest in Snakes on a Plane is a welcome change from the usual apathy that meets with his father’s work. “He did not see The Night Listener. I took him to the premier of The Station Agent, and as much as people love that movie – it’s hard to find people who didn’t like that movie, my son was completely bored. I have a feeling he’d be bored watching The Night Listener too,” he chuckles humbly. “He’s a kid! I try to get him to see movies I liked growing up but he’s his own kid.

It was the most serious thing I’d ever done and I was dying to do something light. And that’s when they sent me the script.” Cannavale read the script backstage and it didn’t take much longer for him to sign on. With his son’s approval, he was ready to play Hank Harris. Next on the horizon for Cannavale is a series of projects he’s very excited about. He just finished shooting a movie in Chicago called Quebec which he describes as. “a very funny comedy with Seann William Scott and John C. Reilly.” Next year, he’ll also have a ... |
