1.
How did you get involved with the project? |
|
|
|
The
director of the film is my nephew. He actually asked me if I would to
narrate the film for him and the next thing I know I’m in my bedroom on
my bed and he’s filming us having a discussion about gambling. |

|
2.
How was it working with the director? |
|
|
|
Good.
It was fun. |
|
|
|
3.
In the film you seem to know a lot about gambling. Did you do any research
for the part? |
|
|
|
I
didn’t have to do any research because I lived it and I’m still living
it. |

The director has said and I quote, “ My uncle Tony is the backbone to
the film. I wouldn’t have taken on making a full feature film without
him, not only being in it, but I also couldn't have done it without
his guidance.” Do you have any comment? |
|
|
|
I
just tried to help in any way I could. |

5.
At the première the buzz was that you stole every scene you were in. Is
this your first roll as a supporting actor in a full feature? |
|
|
|
I
have never been in a film before SORELOSERS. People in the industry on
numerous occasions have asked me to audition for films that were shot in
Chicago, but I never felt comfortable being a part of something like that. |
|

|
6.
How do you personally think the film turned out? |
|
|
|
The
filmed turned out to have a lot of different twists and turns that I
didn’t expect. I also thought there were some really funny scenes. But
on a whole I think we caught the truth about a bookies life and the
characters that surround them. |

7.
Are their any future projects that you have lined up? |
|
|
|
Actually
I have been writing a script for the last couple years. It’s a period
piece that takes place in the Capone era. It would be a costly piece to do
but I’m going to be showing it to some producers that are helping us
with SORELOSERS and take it from there. Besides that I expect to be going
to some film festivals over the next year. We just got news that we were
accepted to the Angel City Film festival in Hollywood so I might be going
that. |
