The Infiltrator – Official Trailer #2

The second trailer for The Infiltrator was released today:

The Infiltrator is released 13 July in cinemas in the US with more dates coming for the UK and worldwide.

Based on a true story, Federal agent ROBERT “BOB” MAZUR (Bryan Cranston) goes deep undercover to infiltrate Pablo Escobar’s drug trafficking scene plaguing the nation in 1986 by posing as slick, money-laundering businessman Bob Musella. Teamed with impulsive and streetwise fellow agent EMIR ABREU (John Leguizamo) and rookie agent posing as his fiancé KATHY ERTZ (Diane Kruger), Mazur befriends Escobar’s top lieutenant ROBERTO ALCAINO (Benjamin Bratt). Navigating a vicious criminal network in which the slightest slip-up could cost him his life, Mazur risks it all building a case that leads to indictments of 85 drug lords and the corrupt bankers who cleaned their dirty money, along with the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, one of the largest money-laundering banks in the world.

Daniel Mays stars as Frankie.

Daniels Mays: #Inspired Series By Slick Showreels

Daniel Mays has a great interview with Slick Showreels for their #Inspired series.

Speaking to Danny was extremely insightful. No matter how high up the ladder you get, this industry is still tough.

We asked Danny what advice he would give for auditions and his views on the importance of networking. Both interesting answers:
He said it’s important to cease the moment and remember it’s not an exercise in learning lines. If you have lots of pages to learn the day before, don’t stress out too much, but if you have a a week, make sure you learn it.
It might sound like obvious advice, but it’s reassuring coming from someone like Danny Mays.

Watch Danny’s interview:

Slick Showreels explains: The purpose of these #Inspired interviews are to take individuals who are jobbing actors or industry professionals who make a successful living from working within this industry. Let’s say its advice that we all wish we’d have got before we’d spent so many years within the film and television industry!

Thanks to Slick Showreels for this fantastic interview!
