Karen Allen discusses playing the abused matriarch in White Irish Drinkers, Indiana Jones 5 and much more.
They say when it rains, it pours. When actress Karen Allen was first starting out, it most certainly poured. After being passed over for Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia Organa in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, Karen Allen was cast in her first major motion picture role, playing Katy in the comedy classic Animal House. Just three years later she found herself in the midst of another classic as Marion Ravenwood in Raiders Of The Lost Ark, a role she later reprised in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Karen Allen can next be seen as the fantastic Margaret Leary in the powerful indie White Irish Drinkers, which will hit theaters on March 25. She plays the dutiful wife of an abusive husband, Patrick (the phenomenal Stephen Lang...

Stephen Lang discusses the authenticity of White Irish Drinkers, Avatar 2, Terra Nova, and much more
2009 was a banner year for actor Stephen Lang, who appeared in The Men Who Stare at Goats, Public Enemies and this little movie called Avatar you may have heard of. 2011 is shaping up to be another fine year for the celebrated actor, with roles in Conan the Barbarian and the highly-anticipated Fox sci-fi series Terra Nova. Before those larger projects are released, though, Stephen Lang stars in White Irish Drinkers, which doesn't have the genre appeal of those previous titles, but packs an enormous dramatic punch. Stephen Lang turns in a phenomenal performance as Patrick, a hard-drinking Brooklyn dock worker who takes out his aggressions on his wife, Margaret (Karen Allen) and sons Brian and Danny (newcomers Nick Thurston and Geoffrey Wigdor).
