Dominic Sessa, the breakout star of 'The Holdovers, takes on his biggest role yet as a young Anthony Bourdain in the new biopic 'Tony. Sessa acknowledges the potential skepticism surrounding the project, admitting, If I saw the headline, 'Anthony Bourdain biopic, without knowing anything else, I would cringe at that. The actor recognizes the genre's tendency toward sanitized storytelling and Oscar-baiting pretensions, which seem at odds with the iconoclastic chef and TV personality. Portraying Bourdain also invites intense public scrutiny, a challenge Sessa embraces in the film.
