Martha Plimpton

The supporting cast brings the gravitas needed for a multi-generational saga.

Sharon Hines as Samuel Hamilton, Hoon Lee as Lee, Martha Plimpton as Faye, along with Joseph Zeta, Tracy Letts, and Joe Anders.

It is a genuinely epic roster meant to ground a half-century of American history.

Yes, but the entire gravitational center of this adaptation is Florence Pugh.

There's some incredible actors in it.

Martha Plimpton's in it.

Kieran Hines is in it.

Tracey Letts who wrote Auguste.

... from what you just went through." [laughs]

You're like, "What would Martha Plimpton do?"

"Yay, look, we have all this money, Marth.

What would Martha Plimpton do?"

Honest- I'm asking myself that every day.

[laughs] I also forget in watching this movie the second time, this is a found footage film, Cecil.

And so, for instance, there's a moment in the final film, uh, and Dianne Wiest is ju- I mean, she is just golden in Parenthood.

It's the bit where, if you're familiar with the movie, where Keanu Reeves and Martha Plimpton have been mattress testing, taken some photos, and this was the era, folks, where you didn't just take a photo and look at it on your phone.

You had to send it away to be developed, and Grazer had had an experience where he'd been indulging in some fruit.

Photos have been taken and the wrong, the, uh, I mean, I think it was his mom or something, picked up the photos that were supposed to be his.

Tom Hulce.

Rick Moranis, and Rick Moranis was he- I mean, he was having a purple patch and a half at this point.

Martha Plimpton, uh, Keanu Reeves, Jason Robards, Mary Steenburgen, Dianne Wiest, a, a young Leaf Phoenix, the last film he was credited as Leaf Phoenix on before he changed his name to Joaquin Phoenix.

Even getting someone like Denn- uh, Dennis Dugan in to play Steve Martin's boss in the film.

He's 18 years sober, likes to gamble probably a little too much, and he's trying to make it work.

He's trying desperately to make it work, and a quick doffing of the cap to the great Martha Plimpton, uh, who is, I, I have loved for many years.

She's incredible in this, uh, as well.

What, what you come to understand is- This guy, his misdeeds are the result of him reacting to be preyed upon by lenders, basically.

Tracy Letts as Cyrus.

Martha, Martha fucking, are you fucking kidding me? Is this like a Goonies? Martha Plimpton as Faye.

And Siren Hens as Samuel.

Yes, it's going to be moist.

Helen's daughter, Julie.

played by Martha Plimpton in the film, is played by Bess Meyer, who did a lot of movies and one-shots.

As far as series work, her last series was Brothers Keeper on TGIF.

And if you didn't know that, you wouldn't know that because it did not last that darn long.
