CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER plays the controversial Boston Cardinal Bernard Law, who was at the center of the scandal. “Christopher Plummer was the beginning, the middle, and the end of who we wanted to play Cardinal Law,” noted Kennedy. “He has been incredible. There was no other choice. Law is a tragic and flawed character of Shakespearian proportion.”

“Villains are wonderful to play, and there is always something about a villain that has a good side, somewhere hidden,” offered Plummer. “There has got to be something worthy behind the mask of villainy, and that’s what you look for in a role. He probably thought he was doing absolutely the right thing. Whether he did or not, it doesn’t matter because I must play him as if he did. Whether he was cowardly about it or not, he swept it under the rug, with the idea of ‘saving the church.’ Protecting the crime was a terrible misjudgment.”

A few weeks prior to the start of principal photography on OUR FATHERS in June 2004, it was announced that Pope John Paul II appointed Cardinal Bernard F. Law to a ceremonial job overseeing one of the four major basilicas of Rome, St. Mary Major, granting the former archbishop of Boston a prestigious appointment one week before the Archdiocese of Boston announced that it was closing 65 parishes. The appointment infuriated critics who blamed Law for the clergy sexual abuse scandal.
