Dominic Sessa has his breakthrough in the film industry thanks to his main role in “The Holdovers,” alongside Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. However, the Hollywood newbie is adding new titles to his filmography.
In an interview with V Magazine, Sessa revealed that having a successful first role in Alexander Payne’s Christmas drama, which was nominated for five Oscars, including Randolph’s win as Best Supporting Actress, put a pressure for him to decide his next roles in movies.
He said that being in something that “everybody loves so much” was “overwhelming” and “flattering in so many ways,” but after questioning “how fast” he was going to be able to act again, he is now trying to “not put too much pressure” on himself. “I’m just starting out and I still don’t really totally know what I’m doing. I’m just having fun,” he added.
