Paul Giamatti Interview

Veteran actor Paul Giamatti was absolutely thrilled when director David Cronenberg offered him a key role in his latest film, Cosmopolis. Giamatti goes head-to-head with the film's lead, Robert Pattinson, in an intense and pivotal 20-minute scene. The film, set in a futuristic New York in turmoil by the decline of capitalism, has Pattinson playing a young billionaire tycoon who can't deal with the pressures and people around him.

Bonnie Laufer from Tribute caught with Paul in Toronto to talk about working with Robert and David, why he was so interested in the role, his other new film Rock of Ages, what it was like having a baboon for a co-star, and what he has coming up next.
