Interview With "Tony" Star Dominic Sessa

"Tony" is a 2026 American biographical comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Matt Johnson. The plot is based on Anthony Bourdain's early years working in Provincetown, Massachusetts, stories from which were featured in his 2000 memoir "Kitchen Confidential." The film stars Dominic Sessa as Bourdain, alongside Emilia Jones, Dagmara Domińczyk, Rich Sommer, Stavros Halkias, Leo Woodall, and Antonio Banderas. The film was given a limited theatrical release in the United States on August 7th, and it has received positive reviews from critics for its writing, performances, and direction. Sessa was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release from A24 and will expand nationwide on August 21st. Thank you, and enjoy!
