@Johnny Caruthers No but Joe Pesci was around some made guys of the mafia in his neighborhood growing up so he knew how they acted. Many mob guys give him high praise for accurately depicting the personalities of some mob guys.
@@SagaciousNihilist i think what they mean is a lot of this world is talented, but wasted because of the questionable nature of the entertainment business. I have to agree. But TH-cam/internet has given us an opportunity to strive for personal dreams again
Say what you will about De Niro, but he deserves a lot of credit for being able to recognize the talents of Chazz and trusting him to play Sonny. He was true to his word.
My favorite actor. Deniro is the actor's actor. I think he was trained by Shelley Winter ? If that's right but anyway he makes actors bring their best to the acting and teaches something on the way. Chazz Palminteri is absolutely talented and down to Earth, I just love him as well! Hope to check out his play next year!
I’m just Blown away .... with the details on how it all Came from fruition. Chaz Palminteri was literally struggling...... bouncing at a Club ... gets fired ......on the Verge of packing it in .... takes a look at his Card with his fathers Words “ The Saddest thing in Life is wasted Talent” has an epiphany abs starts writing ✍️ his own role and Life story in a script..... borrowed some money and makes it happen ..... Wow....
I’m glad Chazz believed in himself. I can’t see anyone playing Sonny other than Chazz. Such a great story. He was so right about people knowing him after making the movie.
The scene where C is talking about Mickey Mantle and Sonny tells him no one cares literally changed my life. I never idolized anyone and it gave me a wonderful perspective as an adult in life and business. This movie is a treasure. So many wonderful lessons
Michael, your sit downs are unlike any other interviews. An absolute pleasure to watch. Please keep doing what you're doing. I love all of these videos. You're much more than just that former mob guy that got my interest originally. You are just a great online personality now and the mob thing is just an element that adds to the interest.
I think Michael would do great with Michael Madsen. That guy is hysterical, he’s deep, he’s a little out there, and he’s played enough mob guys he could hold a great conversation with Franzese. Look up his interview with Jim Norton and Sam Roberts or his older one with Opie and Anthony on XM radio. He’s like Danny Trejo, he’s just seen it all and is a legit guy.
Having your own Broadway show when you're from NY has to be one of the most proud and exciting things ever. I'm not a Broadway fan but I respect and understand the history and culture behind it.
Me too... I got goosebumps when he was telling that part of the story. 1 million dollars and he still says no. Then Bobby D. shows up and history is made on a hand shake!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
How many parts is this thing?? Not that I'm co. Playing mind you this has been a great show!! Or Interview live Michael love Chazz an love the movie ABronxTale. Excellent work
This is part 2. I like Chazz's portrayal in the movie...."Now yous can't leave." I'm from South Philly ...I undertand and always enjoy the dialogue from these movies.
I’m from England. Yeah hi. So listen, my American cousins. What would you prefer, a Philly cheese steak and a warm Bud, OR Chicken Parmigiana and a warm Coke?
I watched the movie again last night. That is at least 30 times. It is a masterpiece, it is as powerful as a Greek tragedy or Shakespeare. Plot, acting, character development, cinematography in choice of films, lenses and focus, all of it. This film cannot be made better than it is. It is so "real" Italian. Not a fault or flaw in it. Thank you. Thank you for believing in yourself. It is a great lesson. Thank you.
Chazz was in an amazing film years ago called “Mulholland Falls” with Nick Nolte, Chris Penn, Michael Madsen, John Malkovich, Melanie Griffith, and Jennifer Connolly. Nobody knows about it but it was a real star cast and a great film!
That was a great fucking story on how Chazz went from down and out, but never giving up on his dream until it became a reality. Perseverance is what it's all about.
I saw Chazz’s one man show when he came to Chicago years ago and while watching I forgot it was a one man show. He did an excellent job! Love “A Bronx Tale”
Storytelling is truly an art can't wait for the next episode! 20 minutes never went by so fast. Thank you Mr Franzese and Mr Palminteri for making this happen.
What’s so great about Michaels interviews is he lets his guest talk without feeling the need to interrupt them with questions or fill in the space where they are thinking. Seems like an obvious thing to do but so many interviewers get it wrong
He’s inspirational!!! Michael I have two screenplays that I’m writing I’m also a Born Again Christian! If you ever get curious about what can happen if you produce movies I would prayerfully ask you to consider looking into my screenplays! Amén!
Absolutely incredible the rags to riches stories of Chaz! If you got the talent. It’s all about effort, timing and believing in yourself. That is something I wish I could do constantly just believe in myself.
Seeing him live on Broadway doin a Bronx tale one man.. you'll get to experience just how genius that show really was...,and I'm glad I caught it,great experience ever🥂 chazz
Micheal Thank You Again ,Part"2" Blew Me Away ! What an Incredible & Inspiring story of the Making of "A Bronx Tale" Hard work,believing in Yourself and your Vision, never quitting! I knew some of the story but hearing all the details right out Chazz's mouth I couldn't get enough ! Micheal your face ,your smile the whole time was priceless like a little kid on Christmas Morning ! When Chazz told us about the New Caddy being delivered to him ,$200 to his name sign that paper right You'll have $1Million, he Says "No" ,I LOVE IT , NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE PLAYED SONNY ,NO ONE . Believing in yourself, your vision turning down a Million Bucks !As a salesman myself once I learned and mastered what we call "The Takeaway " things changed, be confident enough to walk away ! At a certain point I say to someone "Ok well obviously this isn't for you, but I do appreciate your time" or "I dont think your the right person for this and that's ok" I could go on & on, but not what the prospect expects from what they consider to be a Comm Hungry Salesperson ! I can't begin to tell you how many of these people call back and do the deal ! In Chazz's case he was brave enough to walk away, one door closed and God opened another in the form of Robert DeNiro ! Please Micheal when is Part"3" I can't wait !
HOLY SHIT! I thought part I was amazing this just moved the dial even further right. Your on fire Mr. F. By the way best part about this sit down is you let Chaz tell the story and his train of thought isn’t interrupted. Your by a mile the best show on TH-cam none of the others can come close. Keep it up.
Thank You!!!! I love so much that movie. I grew to love all the actors in it and I cannot even explain why it moved me so deeply when I watched it. It stiil does many years later. I didn't know the story behind it and I feel in awe after watching this conversation. I'm a Colombian who still lives in her country, I haven't had any contact with italians and I was very young when I saw the movie. I don't know why but it became one of my favorite ones. Beautiful story. Thank you, Michael.
I was so pleased to see part 2 come up in my notifications. These sit downs are excellent, Michael. I love the way that it’s a conversation and we get to hear these stories, such a privilege. All the best to you from Scotland.
My brother and I saw this movie when we were 20. One of my favorite movies EVER. Thanks for inviting him to a "sitdown", Michael, I DIG Chazz Palminteri even MORE now. Salud.
Man, you gotta love it when the underdog stands his ground, head high, no integrity lost, fighting for what he believes in against giants "Hollywood" and succeeds. I applaud you Chazz!!!!! Great come up story
I fucking loved this cut off the video, the ending gave me goosebumps and Chaz's decision to not let up and have himself play Sonny was the fucking CORRECT move to make. The video definitely made my night
2 months ago whilst saying my prayers I asked the big man up stairs to take me as id given up all hope 10 mins later in bed I watched your video on when you were in solitary and the guard gave you the good book. It was an old video but it was first on my TH-cam recommendations That was sign I believe I drew strength from your story Life is tough and walking away is hard I'm not winning but I'm certainly trying harder and each day is a blessing.
Outstanding! Michael’s You Tube Channel is exploding due to quality content that is interesting and entertaining. Keep up the excellent work. If I have a bad day at work and watch this You Tube Channel my day becomes a great day . Thank You.
Chazz Palminteri is such a respectfull guy... He talks about Ed O Niel his story telling... Well Chazz himself is a great storyteller too... These 20 mins gave gone by in a heartbeat!
Chazz is a real pro: what a recovery when Michael interrupted him when he was coming in with the "BAM!" - he answered the question, backed up just enough, and then - "BAM!"
Michael, you remind me so much of my father. He passed away 2 years ago. From the unions, to where you grew up, your personality, so much of you reminds me of him. Your channel is brilliant! Thank you for being such a genuine soul. I would love to meet you one day.
Omg!! I just watched A Bronx Tale for the first time. I’m 53 and never saw it, but your sit down with Mr. Palminteri made me watch it. It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. He made his character so sympathetic that I was sad to see him die. I was heartbroken for the kid too. I’m gonna need to watch more stuff with both these actors. So good!!
Mr Franzese. Is it true that you’re late dear father, Sonny was the inspiration for the bar scene in The Bronx Tale. Watching that documentary by Newsday on your family you as well as your brother John did. I heard them mention that was the case.
I'm hoping one day Michael and his brother can have one of these sitdowns. They've had incredible lives, and are still here. The way John talks about Michael and his dad in that documentary...you can hear there's a bond there that will always exist. No one else knows the story of their family and the price paid the way they do.
I think that’s why Michael’s mother used to go after him and physically attack him. I mean think about it. She gave birth to Michael. And he took his father his adopted father John more than his own mother. I’m sure that was in a way was devastating at her for times. Maybe she thought he would back her more in the family. But it’s just a thought. But after hearing some of the family stories. One can only wonder.
Whats amazing about the Grace of God is that no matter where you come from or what you have done God amazing love overpasses it and can make us His child! Keep doing what your doing Michael and may the Lord continue to use you as a light in this dark world! Your Brother in Christ in Pasadena CA
Loved this whole conversation. Chazz seems like a truly incredible person. One of my FAVORITE characters he played was Mr. Zidere in A Night at the Roxbury, I quote him all the time. 😂
Hollywood is a strange and highly unusual place, where a dream can be crushed or skyrocket one to unbelievable hight's. It's great to hear a wonderful success story. Thanks again.
Hi Michael. We met several years ago at a FIFEC conference in Orlando where you spoke. You were remarkable and while autographing my book I told you I worked for John Staluppi building limousines many years ago. You spent a few minutes talking with me and I felt Your sincerity and appreciated our conversation. Outstanding work on your TH-cam channel, I love the content and you are a remarkable story teller as well as an interviewer! Keep up the faith and continued success!
I was about 7 or 8 when I first saw Chazz Palminteri in the movie Oscar and just loved his character. The second Chazz Palminteri movie I ever saw was A Bronx Tale. What incredideble range the man has to be capable of portraying characters so loveable on one end of the spectrum and others so powerfully intimidating on the other.
He needs to talk to Michael Madsen, Sonny Black himself. Talk about a character...........Please Michael Franzese, sit down with Michael Madsen. He’s such a smart guy and he’s been around a while. He’s seen the dark side. He’s lived it. He wasn’t a wise guy but he’s been around.
I would love to see you in a sit down with Joe Pesci.
Me too, great Actor .
@Johnny Caruthers you should keep your mouth closed when you don’t know what your talking about.

Damn Michael what a fricken treat this show was having Chaz on. Interviewing skills are 2nd to none.
That's because its not an interview. Its a sit down. A conversation...a discussion...
I’m glad Chazz believed in himself. I can’t see anyone playing Sonny other than Chazz. Such a great story. He was so right about people knowing him after making the movie.

Michael Franzese and Chazz Palminteri are classics! If men like these ruled the world, what a wonderful world it would be! Happy Birthday Michael! 🎂🎉
@@michaelfranzese All due respect to both of these classic gentlemen!
Michael should work with Chazz Palminteri and write a screen play about Sonny Franzese’s life. Get Jon Bernthal to play Sonny Franzese.
@@VMQ1984 - nice one, brother! Jon Bernthal as Sonny Franceze would be brilliant. He's got the presence and intensity and he looks a lot like Sonny.
@@VMQ1984there are enough movies about serial killers
"the government's the toughest mob in the world" - pure truth
I have always loved A Bronx Tale, but hearing the story of how it was made, from the lips of Chazz Palminteri himself, makes me love it even more.
Joe Rogan & Michael Franzese is my dream podcast interview!
That works , mine is Alex Jones and Sir Rodger Penrose
I think Michael would do great with Michael Madsen. That guy is hysterical, he’s deep, he’s a little out there, and he’s played enough mob guys he could hold a great conversation with Franzese. Look up his interview with Jim

This is part 2. I like Chazz's portrayal in the movie...."Now yous can't leave."
I'm from South Philly ...I undertand and always enjoy the dialogue from these movies.
near 10th and Oregon?
Philly in the house 👍🏾
I'm from South Philly too , 16th & Wolf.
I’m from England. Yeah hi. So listen, my American cousins. What would you prefer, a Philly cheese steak and a warm Bud, OR Chicken Parmigiana and a warm Coke?
How’s the Italian community in Philly these days
Very inspiring hearing Chazz speak about holding fast to his ideas about making A Bronx Tale. Thank God he did. Perfect movie in every way.
2 legends. One place, one sit down, imagine that!!!!!
What an ending!! You’re in a room with Robert De Niro and then you end it with a shakedown!! Extraordinary I might say.!
Brilliant interview Michael, greetings from Dublin 🇮🇪🇮🇪
A Bronx take probably the hardest negotiation in film history.
So refreshing to see someone allowing their guest to speak freely without abruptly cutting them off. Great "sit down".
I watched the movie again last night. That is at least 30 times. It is a masterpiece, it is as powerful as a Greek tragedy or Shakespeare. Plot, acting, character development, cinematography in choice of films, lenses and focus, all of it. This film cannot be made better than it is. It is so "real" Italian. Not a fault or flaw in it.

Was a good movie. Sad about Chris Penn, he was getting better and better as he went along. Would have been bigger than Sean.
He was great in "Jolene" too.
A talented man with a belief in himself. He trusted in fate and it paid off. Bravo !!
"A Bronx Tale" is my 3rd favorite mob movie. "GoodFellas" and "Casino" are my 1 and 2.
A Bronx Tale, Godfather Part 2, and Goodfellas for me.
I've seen Chazz perform A Bronx Tale. It's something to behold; such greatness. Do yourself a favor and catch it if he comes through your town.
Damn...That 20 minutes went fast Michael! Will be waiting for the rest of this. Love Chazz's work.
I love Chazz he represents the neighborhood I grew up in 187st the Bronx! Great actor and person in real life!
I need more with Chazz. He’s too good. I could listen to him talk all day about practically anything.
That was a great fucking story on how Chazz went from down and out, but never giving up on his dream until it became a reality. Perseverance is what it's all about.
That was incredible. Good he played that role ❣️
I saw Chazz’s one man show when he came to Chicago years ago and while watching I forgot it was a one man show. He did an excellent job! Love “A Bronx Tale”
Storytelling is truly an art can't wait for the next episode! 20 minutes never went by so fast. Thank you Mr Franzese and Mr Palminteri for making this happen.
Gotta love Chazz Palminteri in 'Running Scared'.
"Have a Mai Tai on me".
Priceless!!!
Hopefully there is a sit down with Ray Liotta, Tony Sirico, Robert Duvall, James Caan and Steven Van Zandt down the pipeline.
Dominick Montiglio.
And Rolf Harris aswell!!
Top man him 🤣
Would love to see sirico, just cuz I read that he really basically is Paulie walnuts
Ray Liotta would be a great one! He’s a really good story teller and comes off as just a down to earth dude. At least from the interviews I’ve seen
Tony Sirico will be good one to watch for a sit down.
What’s so great about Michaels interviews is he lets his guest talk without feeling the need to interrupt them with questions or fill in the space where they are thinking. Seems like an obvious thing to do but so many interviewers get it wrong
Great freaking story of how he made it!!!
He’s inspirational!!! Michael I have two screenplays that I’m writing I’m also a Born Again Christian! If you ever get curious about what can happen if you produce movies I would prayerfully ask you to consider looking into my screenplays! Amén!
I could listen to these two gentlemen all day.
Absolutely incredible the rags to riches stories of Chaz! If you got the talent. It’s all about effort, timing and believing in yourself. That is something I wish I could do constantly just believe in myself.
Seeing him live on Broadway doin a Bronx tale one man.. you'll get to experience just how genius that show really was...,and I'm glad I caught it,great experience ever🥂 chazz
I was looking forward to this sit down.
The new intro is also great!
I also want to say the new intro is excellent!
Say what u want but Chazz Palminteri is KING🙌🏻
Fascinating! So glad Chazz had so much confidence in himself and stuck to his guns! You are both classy men! Thank you!
Who else would love for Michael Franzese to make videos on life lessons and tips. This guy is amazing.
Inspiring story! Reminds of Stallone who wrote and played Rocky too.
Yup thought the same thing
I have never seen a bad interview on your channel. You get people here that nobody else can get. It's truly remarkable.
That’s an awesome story. I love hearing success stories like this. I agree, legendary

BEST INTERVIEW YET. I MEAN SIT DOWN. 👍🏻
Oh world & that's how it should be !!! A man's word of honor & a handshake.

I was about 7 or 8 when I first saw Chazz Palminteri in the movie Oscar and just loved his character. The second Chazz Palminteri movie I ever saw was A Bronx Tale. What incredideble range the man has to be capable of portraying characters so loveable on one end of the spectrum and others so powerfully intimidating on the other.
He needs to talk to Michael Madsen, Sonny Black himself. Talk about a character...........Please Michael Franzese, sit down with Michael Madsen. He’s such a smart guy and he’s been around a while. He’s seen the dark side. He’s lived it. He wasn’t a wise guy but he’s been around.
That would be very interesting actually, Michael Madsen is a great but underrated actor.
I love stories of how persistence pays off.... great fan of Bronx Tale...great story.
I was born just five days after Chazz. I think we're twins, but the doctor was VERY slow!
Loved him as Skinny Razor in Irishman. Wish there more more films about him. Really need a Scarfo film! Love, from Atlantic City!
Chazz, apologize to Sammy for me. He's eating his chicken wings like I asked him to make me a sandwich.
the Sonny character is one of my all-time favorites. And yes Chazz was absolutely the right guy to play that part. Great interviews.
Deniro seems like a stand up guy, I've heard things
