Believe it or not, there is currently no evidence to support these claims.Jeff McCarthy’s Arena Stage credits include Oliver and You, Nero. I s*** you not, Abagnale once claimed that the FBI sent him into a military base as an expert on missiles, and into a secret lab in New Mexico. When the film was released, an FBI spokesperson (via NewsDay) acknowledged that Abagnale had given lectures at the Academy "from time to time," but denied other grandiose claims about the agency employing Abagnale. The film ends with Abagnale working directly with the FBI, but this isn't exactly how things shook out. I'm the guy who actually did this, lived that life, telling people from my point of view how these people work, how these crimes are committed."Ībagnale also claims to have continued his relationship with the FBI for over four decades, but this is pretty dubious.
In the years since the movie's release, Abagnale has continued giving lectures, and also claims to have consulted with "financial institutions, corporations, and government agencies around the world." After all the crimes he claims to have committed, why is Abagnale the person for this job? In his own words (via Vox): In his autobiography, "Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake," Abagnale claims that he never ripped off individuals, only hotels, airlines, and banks. This is a huge contradiction to Abagnale's version of the story.
Logan claims that Abagnale stole about $1,200 from the Parks family, and even more from local businesses in Baton Rouge.
#Catch me if u can movie
It almost sounds like there's an entirely different movie within this story: a psychological thriller about a woman who sees right through a con man when no one else does. Although he took them out to dinners as a thank you, it was later revealed that he was doing this with checks he was stealing from them. Her parents were cooking meals for him and introducing him to people in Baton Rouge. While he was staying in her family home and sleeping in her old bedroom, she was very reasonably mortified. Having successful wined and dined Parks' parents, they came to trust him - even though Parks herself didn't. He ended up staying with the family for quite a while. After he met her parents, the duo parted ways and that seemed to be the end of it. She tried to tell him that she wasn't interested, but he was persistent." After essentially stalking her through work, Abagnale showed up at her apartment in New Orleans where she told him that she was leaving to go visit her parents in Baton Rouge. Logan spoke to WHYY-TV in 2021 and explained that "Parks didn't know what to do with him. Though they struck up a friendship, it was quickly derailed when he discovered her work schedule (through deceptive means) and followed her all over the Eastern Seabord. In reality, Parks was a stewardess who met Abagnale while he was posing as a pilot. Logan spoke directly to Parks, who says that their relationship in the film is not only heavily exaggerated, but blithely mischaracterized. Logan wrote "The Greatest Hoax on Earth: Catching Truth, While We Can." The book debunks many of Abagnale's claims, including the story of his relationship with Paula Parks, the woman who became the basis of Amy Adams' Brenda.

Those three heavy-hitters are plenty, but the movie is full of plenty more stars, including Amy Adams, Martin Sheen, Jennifer Garner, Elizabeth Banks, Nathalie Baye, Ellen Pompeo, and James Brolin.
Christopher Walken portrays the tragic figure of Frank Abagnale Sr., a role model for his son throughout his childhood.
#Catch me if u can how to
The only thing he knows how to do is run far away from his pain - so he spends the entire film putting distance between himself and his problems.Īlong with DiCaprio's brilliant performance is Tom Hanks as FBI Agent Carl Hanratty, trying obsessively to hunt the con artist down. We learn that at his core, DiCaprio's character is a scared kid, haunted by his parent's broken marriage. We get all the fun of Frank's wild adventure before being stopped in our tracks to confront the pain he's desperate to escape. In typical Spielberg fashion, the movie hides tragedy beneath its facade. One of Spielberg's smoothest films, "Catch Me If You Can" is stylish, clever, and fun, breezing right by until it crashes into dark, emotional territory.
