Actor Frank Grillo and I sat down for an interview in The Locher Room to discuss his latest project Paradise Highway currently in theaters now. He is best known for playing Crossbones in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His incredible body of work spans decades and highlights include WARRIOR, DISCONNECT, END OF WATCH, THE GREY, INTERSECTION, EDGE OF DARKNESS, ZERO DARK. His television work includes the lead role in Kingdom, and recurring roles in Battery Park, For the People, The Shield, Prison Break, Blind Justice, The Kill Point and Billions.

Daytime television audiences will remember Frank for his portrayal of Hart Jessup on Guiding Light.

His new film Paradise Highway stars Academy Award® winners Juliette Binoche and Morgan Freeman leading this riveting thriller set in the trucking industry and its seamy underbelly of human trafficking. To save the life of her brother (Frank Grillo), Sally (Binoche), a truck driver, reluctantly agrees to smuggle illicit cargo: a girl named Leila (Hala Finley). As Sally and Leila begin a danger-fraught journey across state lines, a dogged FBI operative (Freeman) sets out on their trail, determined to do whatever it takes to terminate a human-trafficking operation — and bring Sally and Leila to safety.

The film is about the power of human connection – about the damage that can be done when children are disconnected from the rest of society, and about the goodness that can prevail when it is rekindled.
