\"\"<\/a>For years, Amy Ryan<\/a> amassed a list of impressive credits, moving fluidly from\u00a0 television to stage to\u00a0movies. She was one of those ever-reliable actresses who possessed a chameleon-like appearance, comfortable in large and small roles, and adept in movies both serious and light.<\/p>\n

Then\u2014boom! Ben Affleck cast her in a big supporting part in his 2007 drama Gone Baby Gone<\/a>. Cast as the drug-addled mother of a young Boston girl who has been kidnapped, Ryan turned in a tour de force performance that made audiences sit up and take notice. It also earned her several year-end critics\u2019 awards and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.<\/p>\n

While Ryan lost the Oscar to Tilda Swinton<\/a> in Michael Clayton, she has no regrets. \u201cIt was a nice game changer for me,\u201d she smiles.<\/p>\n

With her recognition factor at an all-time high from that film as well as a recurring role as Holly, Steve Carell\u2019s girlfriend in The Office, Ryan has still made time to delve into demanding parts for indie films, especially if they involve people she admires and trusts.<\/p>\n

That was the reason she took the part of Connie, a put-upon woman with baggage in Jack Goes Boating<\/strong>, the directorial debut of pal Philip Seymour Hoffman<\/a>. The 41-year-old Queens native had previously appeared opposite Hoffman when he won his Oscar in Capote<\/a> and also appeared in Sidney Lumet\u2019s Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead<\/a> with Hoffman.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a different experience working with an actor as he\u2019s directing you,\u201d says Ryan from a Philadelphia\u00a0 hotel suite. \u201cIt\u2019s taking a different focus because you have to really be with him because he\u2019s focusing on 12 other things at once\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/a>

Jack Goes Boating Original Movie Poster<\/p><\/div>\n

In Jack Goes Boating, Hoffman plays the lead role, a New York limousine driver whose life needs a bump with a relationship with a woman. The woman he would like it to be is Ryan\u2019s Connie, a friend of Clyde (John Ortiz<\/a>), Jack\u2019s co-worker, and medical officer supervisor Lucy (Daphne Ruben-Vega), a couple with skeletons in their closet and jealousy and anger about to boil over.<\/p>\n

Staged originally for the stage with Hoffman, Ortiz and Ruben-Vega in its original cast, the film was\u00a0adapted for the screen by its playwright, Robert Glaudini. Ryan says its translation from play to film was an interesting if sometimes surprising experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had the advantage of rehearsing it like a play,\u201d says Ryan, who also had a stint as a Transit Authority officer in the acclaimed series The Wire<\/a> and a key part as a journalist in Green Zone<\/a> earlier this year. \u201cThe film was mapped out before, so there was the opportunity to keep a sharp focus. There were times when you\u2019re not sure what Philip was thinking. Was he thinking about his lines or the lights? I waited for an invite into a scene. When he said \u2018I want to tell you about a scene’\u2014I said \u2018That\u2019s the director!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan, pregnant with her first child when filming Jack Goes Boating, sees a difference working with a director who also acts. \u201cThere\u2019s a real compassion when being directed by an actor,\u201d notes Ryan. \u201cBen obviously wasn\u2019t in the movie (Gone Baby Gone) with me. But there\u2019s a real camaraderie about knowing what it\u2019s like to go into darker places, being vulnerable or just private and public. It\u2019s like \u2018Here goes nothing! I may fail and you may fail miserably.\u2019 They know what that takes. In the case with Phil, because he\u2019s on screen with us, you know he\u2019s not going to take us in a place he\u2019s not going in the next scene. There\u2019s an incredible trust and bond.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Philip Seymour & Amy Ryan In Jack Goes Boating<\/p><\/div>\n

Jack Goes Boating is a quirky, edgy examination of New Yorkers and relationships between hopeful, damaged people like the reggae-obsessed Jack and introspective Connie. They look to Clyde and Lucy as role models for their slowly blossoming relationship, but eventually discover that the couples\u2019 union is not a pretty as Jack and Connie perceived it.<\/p>\n

In summing up the movie, which has a certain stillness to it as well as terrific New York location work, powerhouse acting by all and some unexpected plot turns, Ryan says, \u201cThis film depicts people who are real New Yorkers. It stays true to the moments (we found in rehearsals) and how awkward it is to find love or a deteriorating relationship. It\u2019s not wrapped up neatly. And I think those pauses (in the film) are breathtaking and nerve-racking and so true to life. They are not wrapped up neatly in a bow with a montage and music. It just doesn\u2019t lend itself to (traditional) storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan\u2019s Connie, who survives a bloody subway assault in the film, is based on a woman that the actress remembered from her past.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember a girl I went to grammar school with,\u201d explains the petite Ryan. \u201cI don\u2019t know what her life story was, but every time she got called on, she would just go ten shades of red. She was just so socially awkward. I remember thinking of her a lot (during the film\u2019s production). I haven\u2019t thought of her since the fourth grade. I also have a couple of friends who are not unlike Connie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan is currently filming Win Win with Paul Giamatti for director Thomas McCarthy (also a Jack Goes Boating co-star and director of The Visitor). She is also about to shoot several episodes of The Office in what will be\u00a0Steve Carell\u2019s last year on the show.\u00a0 Asked who will be the new head of paper company Dunder Mifflin\u2019s Scranton office, Ryan claims \u201cI really don\u2019t know, but I know it won\u2019t be me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan doesn\u2019t seem to prefer one medium over another. She started her television career playing a teenage runaway in the soap opera As the World Turns, and later got regular work in such series as Fly Away Home, Law & Order and The Naked Truth as Tea Leoni\u2019s stepdaughter. Her stage credits include plays by Neil LaBute<\/a>, Arthur Miller and Neil Simon, and Tony nominations for Chekhov\u2019s Uncle Vanya and Tennessee Williams\u2019\u00a0A Streetcar Named Desire, essaying the role of Stella Kowalski opposite John C. Reilly\u2019s Stanley Kowalski.<\/p>\n

Her take on the differences between television, plays and movies?<\/p>\n

\u201cWith film you get the script up front and the same with a play. In some cases, like The Wire and The Office, you learn something new about the character four episodes later because the writer just came up with it. You say, \u2018I wish I knew that before I would have played the character differently\u2019 But there\u2019s kind of nothing you can do about it. You have to assume everyone takes that for granted, it\u2019s really more fly-by-night and seat-of-your-pants because (in television) you also film more pages in a day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan is thankful her life doesn\u2019t have too many parallels with the character Connie in Jack Goes Boating. \u201cFortunately, I have had more luck than Connie, she relates. \u201cShe\u2019s been more picked on. But she\u2019s an easy target. She\u2019s just one woman, while Lucy is a more self-sufficient New Yorker and really the more dominant in that relationship (with Clyde).\u00a0 \u201cI like to think I am a stronger New Yorker than Connie. That\u2019s what I really want to answer. Make sure you write that!<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s always a lesson to learn from a character you play. I think it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said. \u2018You should do the things that most frighten you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Amy Ryan stands corrected. It was Joan of Arc who said, \u201cI am not afraid\u2026I was born to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, it was Joan of Arc, another good strong woman!\u201d says Ryan. \u201cTo say \u2018yes\u2019 even though every pore in your body says \u2018no.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
