Interview: Matt Dillon (Armored)

After thirty years of making movies, Matt Dillon is still going strong. The '80s heartthrob is currently starring in the new action-packed thriller Armored. Dillon plays the captain of an armored transport security company. He is partnered up with two other guys, played by veteran Laurence Fishburne and newbie Columbus Short. Short's character is coerced by his "wiser" coworkers to steal a truck containing $42 million. But a wrinkle in their supposedly foolproof plan divides the group and chaos ensues.

Tribute's Bonnie Laufer spoke with Matt Dillon via satellite from New York about choosing this role and why he's so passionate about it.
