Tom Riley, A Few Days in September

Special On Location Report from the 2006 Venice Film Festival: A discovery! With his "all-American" moniker Tom Riley seems a natural to play Nick Nolte's laid-back American son in the new French thriller A Few Days in September. But as this 9/11 drama, set in France and Italy, soon makes clear, nothing is as it seems, especially Riley who is, in fact, English, and is making his film debut co-starring with Juliette Binoche and John Turturro.
