Eliza Dushku

Waltham location lures local actors

Shooting for "On Broadway" continued yesterday at the Waltham pub The Skellig, with Watertown native Eliza Dushku joining the cast of the low-budget film that includes former New Kid Joey McIntyre, Jill Flint, and Bob Wahlberg. McIntyre plays Jack O’Toole, an Irish-American playwright who’s trying to stage a production in the back of the pub. The story is loosely based on writer-director Dave McLaughlin’s own experiences while producing ’’God Willing" nine years ago in the back of the Burren in Somerville. Local actors joining the cast include three award-winning stage actresses: Nancy E. Carroll plays Joey Mac’s mom; Dossy Peabody portrays an actress in the pub production; and Annette Miller is Aunt Grace. Also on the set was Dave Farrell, lead singer for Rubyhorse. And Joey Mac’s sister Judy McIntyre has a cameo in the film, as does filmmaker Bobby Farrelly’s wife, Nancy.
