Sessa channels a rebellious 1970s Bourdain in Tony
TL;DR
Dominic Sessa discusses playing a young Anthony Bourdain in Tony, a 1975 Provincetown-set drama that channels kitchen-life initiation rites and coming-of-age longing, drawing on his Jersey Shore summers and Deerfield Academy to explain his appetite for risk, with the film avoiding the Bourdain death arc and releasing in cinemas August 14.
