Tony Shalhoub Interview

Pain & Gain is the latest action-packed thrill ride from director Michael Bay. Starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, the film is based on a 1999 series of Miami New Times articles about the brutal kidnapping, extortion, torture, and murder of several victims by an organized group of criminals that included a number of body builders. Also starring in the film is character actor Tony Shalhoub, who says he honestly can’t believe that these events actually took place.

Tribute.ca spoke with Tony in Miami about his reaction to the script and how intimidated he felt by his muscular co-stars.
