Written by John Rice and Joe Batteer, the mini tells the true story of Clyde Barrow (Emile Hirsch), a charismatic convicted armed robber who sweeps Bonnie Parker (Holliday Grainger), an impressionable small-town waitress, off her feet, and the two embark on one one of most infamous bank-robbing sprees in history. Garrison, repped by Domain and manager Dannielle Thomas, plays Clyde’s older brother. He just wrapped the feature One Heart and can soon be seen in The Devil’s In The Details.
