PictureLux on the red carpet report: "City Island" premiere

Andy Garcia and co-star Julianna Margulies were on hand at the Landmark Theater in Los Angeles, Ca on Monday, March 15, 2010 for the LA Premiere of 'City Island' 

Andy Garcia was positively beaming as the proud dad at the premiere since he stars alongside daughter Dominik Garcia-Lorido in the film and willingly posed alongside her for photos on the red carpet. When asked about his kids getting into acting  Andy replied " “I encourage them to pursue the dream, as long as it’s their dream.” Daniella and Alessandra both appeared with him in 2005 in "The Lost City", and Andres enjoys performing “almost as much as he loves video games and basketball,” 

Also in attendance were Co-star Steven Strait, Brandon Barash and George Lopez among others.

About the film: When prison guard and aspiring actor, Vince Rizzo (Andy Garcia) is asked to reveal his biggest secret during his drama class, he inadvertently sets off a chain of events that turns his mundane suburban life into total chaos. Vince takes great pains covering up his half-truths from his family, but soon it becomes clear that everyone—his hot-tempered wife (Julianna Margulies), college student daughter (Dominik Garcia-Lorido), long-lost ex-con son (Steven Strait), charismatic acting partner (Emily Mortimer) and even his drama coach (Alan Arkin)—all have secrets of their own. Everyone’s furtive deceptions collide with hilarious results. Set on City Island, a quaint fishing community on the outskirts of the Bronx, this smart and charming comedy explores the absurd secrets and vices people choose to keep from their loved ones…and the realization that the truth is easier to cope with than well-intentioned white lies.

City Island is a funny and touching family tale about the secrets of the past catching up with the lies of the present, and accepting that nobody’s perfect – least of all your loved ones. (photo © 2010 Joe Martinez/PictureLux)
