Acting is a craft, acting in an art…it just didn’t pop up yesterday when The Sopranos came on TV …but because they did, every Italian Amercian from New Jersey thinks he can do what we did…but heres what we did

We started years ago with bit parts under fives extra work, doing plays in Mamaroneck NY, the Bronx in small theaters in NYC, like the West Bank. We went on open calls and stood on line to give Sylvia Fay our headshot hoping they would call us for xtra work on "Law and Order" and "Carlitos Way" …we worked on "America Most Wanted". B mob movies..small parts in Woody Allen films …we borrowed money from our parents for classes and pay the rent. We took the six train to auditions to save the money from gas and parking. We sat around and read plays and lost our girlfriends cause we were going crazy and getting lonely…actors are a special breed ..they are musicians waiting for their next gig and love the applause …actors never retire never pack it in, like Anthony Quinn who worked till the end…they walk into the bright light like Shane and John Wayne and they cry like Brando …

I write this because I am an actor about to celebrate a year that’s seemed so old when i was a kid, 64. I have a wonderful life and great friends and family. I thank David Chase and Ted Demme and Tony Sirico and Adam Bernstien and Tony Danza and Cha Cha for the many breaks. I still work with guys like Arthur Nascarella and Gary Pastore and Frank Licato whom I started out with …I watch movies differently, I write, I try to sing and love making people laugh, now i want to teach and i know i can …so I am here for the summer, come on over and enjoy the process.
