17 years ago @ /Film - Troy Duffy Talks Boond... · 1 reply · 0 points

Talked to Troy Duffy on the phone about three or four years ago about this movie. I was a film student at the University of Idaho and my brother was the head baseball coach at Occidental College in Los Angeles. My brother, knowing my fondness for The Boondock Saints, called me on Saint Patty's day of all days from a bar in L.A. and told me he was going to put Troy Duffy on the line. Of course I thought my brother was messing with me so when the guy got on the phone I grilled him about the movie, wanting to see if this really was indeed the director. Well after about twenty seconds I realized it really was him and we talked about the first Boondock movie and that he was getting ready to shoot the second one with "reedus and del rocco". I'm not sure how Del Rocco fits into the second one since he is killed in #1 but I just figured flashbacks or a prequel or something. He then asked me where I was and that I should come to Toronto and be an extra in the film. I was pretty drunk in our conversation and all I can really remember saying about five times was "mr. Duffy I really liked your film a lot." Anyway after seeing that doc made about him after our conversation I don't think he needs to be reassured about how awesome his film is. I can say though talking to Troy randomly from Idaho on St. Patty's day in 2004 he came across as a humble, respectful, down to earth guy as you'd like to meet. It definently was a really cool thing for me to talk to him about his movie. I'm happy for him that he finally got #2 made.
