  • [BlackTree TV - Los Angeles] BlackTree corespondent Madison Chase sits down with Don Cheadle to talk about getting behind The
    Don Cheadle, who was McDonagh's first choice for the role of the FBI agent, was immediately impressed by the quality of the screenplay. "It's really rare that you see a script that's as fully realized as this one and a story that's so complete. These characters are all so full and rich. It came to our attention and I knew that John had Brendan interested in doing it and I love Brendan as an actor. Seeing a project that is at this stage and it doesn't yet have a home, we - my partners and my company - really wanted to jump in, to see if we could help get it made." Cheadle joined the film both as co-star and executive producer.
    Don Cheadle on FBI Agent Wendell Everett:
    He's a man who's near and dear to my heart. He comes from a privileged background. He comes from very good schools, but I think he's probably always interested in justice -- and he's good at his job. He's from various places around the South, although he's originally from Kenosha, Wisconsin, and he's a bit of a nomad. He has come to this place that he knows very little about and has very little interest in knowing anything about; other than to solve the case of 10these drug traffickers. He's an interesting guy -- he has a good heart and he's also funny. He has some quirks that are really funny and a chip on his shoulder that makes him a great person to needle. The unique landscape of the West of Ireland is perfect for this character to come into. It can be inhospitable and it's very foreign and very different from anything Everett would be used to. Therefore, it really plays into the character's dynamic and how he interacts with all of the other characters in the movie. He's secure in his job, but potentially insecure everywhere else. He doesn't like being made fun of. He doesn't get the joke, but when it's about the work, his strength is in the loyalty he shows. A BlackTree Media Production Thank you for watching!

      I don't think it's 'underrated' or 'underappreciated' because almost everyone who watches this movie absolutely loves it. 'Undiscovered' might be a good adjective for The Guard. It's up to the rest of us who have seen it to spread the word to friends who would enjoy it.

    I enjoyed the Guard. Nice to read that Cheadle was McDonaugh's first choice for casting. And Gleeson is always a sure thing in any movie.
    If you have a chance, rent/borrow the DVD & watch the gag/blooper reel. Cheadle does a great Christopher Walken impersonation between takes.
    Side note: Recently saw Mr. Cheadle's name in the credits of 'St Vincent' as Exec Producer. I hope he's more involved in movies like these, hopefully in front of the camera as well as behind it.

      We use 'Irish' or 'Gaelge', rather than 'Gaelic' to distinguish our dialect from Welsh & Scottish Gaelic.
      'Gaa', as a previous commenter mentioned, is actually a pronounciation of G.A.A. or the Gaelic Athletic Association.
