Chit Chatting With The Actors of Conviction

This is definitely a motley crew.Sam Rockwell is an actor who has made a name as an apparent eccentric who always seems to play the tormentor instead of the tormented soul (on screen at least).

Seated next to him is Tony Goldwyn, the clean-cut Actor-Director, better known for his turn as the smooth villain in the popular 1990 movie Ghost, and to my right is a charming and unassuming woman, Betty Ann White, who is the main reason why we are all here.

White made headlines in the Spring 2001, when her 18-year old labor of love paid off and she and her legal team were able to finally free her unfairly imprisoned brother Kenny, who was serving a life sentence for a crime he did not commit.

The Whites' ordeal and Betty Ann's self-made incredibly triumphant journey from a Massachusetts high school drop-put, single mother of two to a practicing attorney licensed in two States seemed tailor-made for Hollywood.

And so it was a matter of time before their story turned into a movie, Conviction, starring Hilary Swank in the role of Betty Ann and Rockwell in the role of Kenny.
