Michael Kelly and Jesse Ray Sheps are a dynamic duo in the SXSW dramedy ‘All Square’

‘House Of Cards’ actor Michael Kelly and newcomer Jesse Ray Sheps created a strong bond both on and off screen in ‘All Square’.
UPDATED OCT 22, 2018

At the Los Angeles press day for the SXSW dramedy ‘All Square’, Meaww got to sit down with its two charming stars Michael Kelly and Jesse Ray Sheps.  The film is about a middle-aged bookie named John (played by Kelly) who takes bets exclusively on kids baseball.  After a one night stand, John bonds with the woman’s son Brian (Sheps), who just so happens to be in the youth baseball John takes bets on.  A fascinating yet morally ambiguous premise, ‘All Square’ is a film that will make you both laugh and cry. 

At just twelve years old, Sheps has the sophistication and humor of a full grown adult, making him very similar to his character.  While Kelly is mostly a dramatic actor, he and Sheps certainly had a ball on set and bonded just as much as their characters did on screen, as Kelly tells us.
