2016 Tribeca Film Festival Interview: The Cast and Crew Talk Tiger Raid

"

“I was filming with a lot of Irish actors when I was sent the script,” Molony divulged when he began discussing how he was cast as Paddy in ‘Tiger Raid.’ “There was a huge buzz among Irish actors about the script for this film. So I read it and loved it. I was drawn to the fact that the relationship between the two characters is constantly shifting.”

The actor described the two mercenaries as “two fish out of water in this violate environment, so things could go wrong and become very dangerous for them. I loved the character, and developed an innate feeling of who he was.” Molony then described Paddy as being arrogant and incredibly naive.

Molony also mentioned the exercise regime he and his co-stars took on, in order to “get into the bodies of these guys. To play a mercenary, you have to look like one. What was just as important as the physical aspect was our time” with the contractor. “He had some amazing advice, including how a former soldier, who’s now a mercenary, would” carry himself. They also discussed how a mercenary “would act if he was dropped into the center of Jordan, where it was 45-50 degrees Celsius heat, while covered in this military gear. The heat and noise of the world we were dropped into was just as important as all of the script work that we had done.”

Further speaking of filming ‘Tiger Raid’ in Jordan, Molony mentioned that he “couldn’t imagine shooting it anywhere else. Jordan is the character in the movie. It was vital for us to be in the sand there.”
