Condon was also a recurring character in the critically acclaimed drama Better Call Saul (a Breaking Bad spinoff). <\/p>\n<p>In Night Swim, based on McGuire\u2019s acclaimed 2014 short film of the same name, Ray Waller (Wyatt Russell) is a former major league baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness. Secretly hoping, against the odds, to return to pro ball, Ray persuades his wife, Eve (Condon), that their new home\u2019s shimmering backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids (Am\u00e9lie Hoeferle and Gavin Warren) and provide physical therapy for him. But a dark secret in the home\u2019s past will unleash a malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of inescapable terror. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_243611\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-243611\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" class=\"size-full wp-image-243611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Night-Swim-body-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-243611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(from left) Izzy Waller (Am\u00e9lie Hoeferle), Elliot Waller (Gavin Warren), Ray Waller (Wyatt Russell) and Eve Waller (Kerry Condon) in Night Swim, written and directed by Bryce McGuire.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cOn the day I met Kerry, she had been nominated for a Golden Globe for Banshees of Inisherin and swam a mile in the ocean that morning \u2013 not a bad day,\u201d director Bryce McGuire says. \u201cShe had to do some really demanding underwater work, especially late in the movie, that most people simply would not have been able to do.
