Dominic Sessa to Portray Anthony Bourdain

According to Variety, Dominic Sessa will portray Bourdain alongside Oscar nominee Antonio Banderas in Tony.

Most recently, Sessa starred in The Holdovers, the golden globe-winning movie that was filmed in both Fairhaven and New Bedford.

For Sessa’s newest role, he puts on the chef apron to portray a young Bourdain that has a “life-changing experience working and living in Provincetown, MA.”

On his Emmy Award-winning series, No Reservations, Bourdain talks about the life-changing moment that will no doubt be a crucial part in his upcoming biopic.
