Fuente xpressive1/10/2024 I just thought it was an extraordinary opportunity as an actor, for a characterization in a story, that I was completely charmed by the script and the humanity in the piece, the humor in the piece, so to me it was like a gift that was given to me. I never saw him as someone unlikable at the base of it, he’s a very human character with very human issues. Garcia: You know, I don’t have a problem with being unlikable within a movie, you know what I’m saying? But the issue is I saw him as someone who is extremely human, with human frailties and mistakes he’s made and insecurities and lack of confidence. Xpress: I also felt that he would be an easy character-if played wrong-he’d be kind of unlikable, but I felt that you did a good job of not doing that. Garcia: He’s the antithesis of what people might think of me. Xpress: I felt that he’s a lot more insecure than what you’re usually seen as. I love to get these kinds of parts, it’s such a unique part, my character holds so many insecurities and issues in his life. Xpress: I had the feeling watching the movie that the role is a little different than what you normally play. He submitted the script to me with the added interest in me co-producing the movie. We share a mutual agency, and an agent at the agency suggested me for the part, and he liked the idea. Garcia: The project was submitted to me by the director. How did you get involved with that project? Xpress: I want to start off by asking you about City Island, because that’s what’s opening-or reopening-this week here in Asheville. So when it turned out that the film was being given a second chance at big-screen life in Asheville-starting this Friday at Carolina Asheville-Souther spoke with the film’s star, Andy Garcia, about this unusual turn of events, about the film itself and the state of independent movie production today. Did anybody catch City Island during its earlier-and very brief-run locally? Xpress movie critic Justin Souther did, but he seems to be one of the few who did.
