Paul Salfen of AMFM Magazine sits down with Max Casella (The Sopranos, Doogie Howser, M.D.) about playing Frank Capra in JIMMY, the Jimmy Stewart biopic starring KJ Apa, in theaters nationwide November 6, 2026 from Burns & Co. Entertainment.
Casella talks about the joy of recreating It’s a Wonderful Life, why Capra felt like “a superhero,” shooting on the cliffs of Ireland, how KJ Apa “carries” the entire film, the advice he gives aspiring actors (“you gotta love to act”), his Hail Mary moment of starting with no backup plan, and why he calls JIMMY “the anti-Hollywood film.” He also teases a Netflix Eloise project with Ryan Reynolds.
