Crime & Sugar: When Actors Become Bandits

Ever wondered how desperation and syrup mix? Margo Martindale and Chris Diamantopoulos are here to show you. These actors teamed up in "The Sticky, " a comedy about a heist. But not just any heist – we're talking maple syrup! Based on a real 2012 event, the story follows a maple farmer and a Boston mobster who try to steal from Canada's big syrup reserve. Martindale, who's played her share of tough characters, sees the humor in their desperate situation. "When things get really bad, it can be hilarious, " she says.

Diamantopoulos agrees, noting how his character's true self comes out like syrup oozing from a waffle. Even the security guard turned inside man, played by Guillaume Cyr, gets in on the action. Cyr, who remembers the real heist, says the show isn't about facts but about creating a funny world. Canadian mobsters, desperate farmers, and sticky situations – it's all part of the fun in this crime caper.
