Amy on 'The Office'

Tell me about your character in Win Win:

I play Jackie Flaherty, the mother of the household, the wife to Paul Giamatti, a New Jersey surbanan couple who are deeply, happily married, but have a bunch of economic strains as many people do these days. One day, a runaway teen shows up at their door and they decide to take him in, but they are a little in conflict over whether that’s a good idea or not.

In the film, you play a very strong woman, she’s a strong force. What attracted you to this role particularly? Do you like playing strong characters or characters with a lot of flaws?



I like...
