Video Interview with Actor Esai Morales of Atlas Shrugged Part 2 Published

In this video interview, released by The Atlas Society, Esai Morales describes how he negotiated the fine line his character (Francisco d'Anconia) walks—trying to recruit Hank Rearden (Jason Beghe) and Dagny Taggart (Samantha Mathis) for his mysterious purpose without giving away too much of the secret.

This video interview is one of a number of interviews with the stars of Atlas Shrugged Part 2, conducted by The Atlas Society.

Atlas Shrugged Part 2 is the second in a film trilogy based on Ayn Rand's epic novel, Atlas Shrugged.
