John Wells - The Company Men Interview

The Company Men is a recession-era drama that follows three executives downsized from a huge conglomerate. It stars Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones and Chris Cooper. Writer/director John Wells (producer of "ER" and "The West Wing") takes on this complex and all too familiar issue in his feature film debut.

Tribute's Bonnie Laufer spoke with John about the research that helped him to develop the script, his A-list cast, the good old days of working on one of the best medical series on television and his controversial new TV series, "Shameless."
