Uniting with Legends - A Career Highlight

Jamie Lee Curtis: A Powerhouse of Energy

The 66-year-old Oscar winner, Jamie Lee Curtis, is a force to be reckoned with. As Diamantopoulos describes, "Jamie Lee could power a small country with her energy, her enthusiasm, her positivity." She would arrive on set and maintain an unwavering level of enthusiasm throughout the shooting days. Whether it was facing the cold Canadian winter or long shooting hours, her spirit was infectious. Within seconds of being in her presence, one would be ready to take on the world. Her ability to inspire and motivate those around her is truly remarkable.

It was a joy to work with such a master of her craft. Her dedication and passion set the tone for the entire production.

Margo Martindale: A Force of Stamina

Margo Martindale, at 73 years old, is another powerhouse in "The Sticky." Diamantopoulos notes that leading a show like this requires not only talent and experience but also physicality and stamina. Despite shooting 15-hour days and enduring negative 20-degree weather during the Canadian winter, Martindale never showed any signs of exhaustion. She would motivate Diamantopoulos with her determination and energy. "She was coming up to me, slapping me in the back of the head, going, 'Come on. Come on. Let's go. Let's do another take!'" recalls Diamantopoulos. Her presence on set was a source of inspiration for the entire crew.

Her ability to handle such demanding conditions is a testament to her talent and dedication.

The Sticky: A Canadian Folklore Heist

"The Sticky" is based on the true story of the 2012 "Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist." Diamantopoulos, a Toronto native, sees it as a "sort of Canadian folklore." His character, Mike Byrne, teams up with Martindale's maple syrup farmer Ruth Landry and Guillaume Cyr as security guard Remy Bouchard to pull off a multi-million dollar heist. This unique story combines elements of crime and adventure, creating a compelling narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

The chemistry between the three leads and the authenticity of the story make "The Sticky" a must-watch.

The Sticky season 1 premieres on Friday, Dec. 6, on Prime Video. Don't miss this exciting series that showcases the talent and dedication of these incredible actors.
