“The Only Living Pickpocket In New York” is an American crime thriller film written and directed by Noah Segan. It stars John Turturro as an old-school thief trying to survive in a modern, cashless city while scrambling to fix a high-stakes mistake. The film also stars Giancarlo Esposito, Will Price, Tatiana Maslany, and Steve Buscemi. It had its world premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, where critics widely praised the film, particularly Turturro’s performance and Segan’s writing and direction. Legendary actor John Turturro, who was recently nominated for a Gotham Award for his lead performance in the film, was kind enough to spend some time talking with us in-studio about his work and experience making the film, his career, views on acting, who he’d like to one day work with, and more, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Sony Pictures Classics. Thank you, and enjoy!
