Interviews with the cast of "Catch Me If You Can": Leonardo DiCaprio (as Frank Abagnale Jr.), Tom Hanks (as Carl Hanratty), Christopher Walken and Nathalie Baye (as Frank's parents), Martin Sheen and Amy Adams (as the Strong family), and Jennifer Garner (as Cheryl Ann). Most interesting in Mr. DiCaprio's segment is that "Catch Me If You Can" was his project before it became a Spielberg (/DreamWorks) production. DiCaprio's role preparation, with writer Frank Abagnale Jr., helps explain why the role was an exceptionally successful one for the actor. Through the segments with Mr. Hanks and the others, the importance of Mr. Abagnale's input shines through. The cast expresses much respect and admiration for each other. Who knew?
