‘Say Nothing’ star Anthony Boyle on playing IRA activist Brendan Hughes: We ‘get to the humanity as opposed to the mythology’

Portraying a real person in Say Nothing was "a great honor," Anthony Boyle tells Gold Derby about his role as renowned Irish activist Brendan Hughes.

Say Nothing was created by Joshua Zetumer, based on Patrick Radden Keefe’s acclaimed nonfiction book Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland.
