John Turturro stars in crime thriller The Only Living Pickpocket in New York

Actor John Turturro is starring in the crime thriller “The Only Living Pickpocket in New York,” directed by Noah Segan. The film follows Harry, an aging pickpocket living in the Bronx who operates as an analog figure in a digital world. Harry views his theft as a vocation rather than a crime, often returning wallets to owners after taking the cash.

Turturro, who has been acting for 46 years, described the role as a moving exploration of a man becoming obsolete in a fast-changing world. The film is noted for its 1970s cinematic style, featuring streetwise characters and urban themes. In addition to this leading role, Turturro continues to appear in high-profile projects such as Apple TV’s “Severance.”
