Today's episode of "We the 66" is with none other than "The Godfather" actor Gianni Russo, who played the drunken, abusive son Carlo Rizzi in the iconic film. Russo overcame insurmountable odds to land that role: First, he was a child with with polio, and second he had never had a movie role in his entire life. He went from zero acting experience to starring in what many consider to be the greatest movie of all time. How did he get there? Well, he would tell you it came down to his mob connections. He started working for Frank Costello as a kid and gradually rose the ranks, beating his polio and allegedly sleeping with Marilyn Monroe along the way. After starring in "The Godfather," he became a successful nightclub owner in Vegas. On one fateful eve in 1988, he shot and killed a man in his club. The bad news, Russo says, is that the guy was an underboss for Pablo Escobar. Among many others, Russo recounts the outlandish tale of going down to Colombia to see Pablo Escobar and ask for forgiveness. He says Escobar only granted him forgiveness because he loved the Godfather. We discuss the mafia's involvement with various the most important figures and events of the mid-20th century, from JFK to Ronald Reagan.

Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies and the Mob - Gianni RussoGianni RussoWith a singularly nebulous background, which, by his account, included stints as a Las Vegas nightclub emcee, radio personality and jewelry tycoon, and with comparatively little acting experience, Gianni Russo won the role of Carlo Rizzi in The Godfather (1972) on the basis of his screen test. Since then, Russo has remained busy as an actor, mostly playing assorted "wiseguys" and Mafia types. He appeared again with Marlon Brando in a small role in The Freshman (1990) where Brando parodied his Don Corleone role to good effect.https://amzn.to/3QuGT0fThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

On The Kenny & JT Show, actor Gianni Russo returns. Gianni played Carlo Rizzi in “The Godfather”, which was released to theaters 51 years ago this week.
GIANNI RUSSO was born in Manhattan in 1943 and raised in the then close-knit Little Italy, and later Rosebank, Staten Island. After reprising Carlo Rizzi in a brief flashback scene at the end of The Godfather Part II, Russo acted in more than 46 films, including Goodnight, My Love (1972), Lepke (1975, as Albert Anastasia), Laserblast (1978), Chances Are (1989), The Freshman (1990), Side Out (1990), Another You (1991), Super Mario Bros. (1993), Any Given Sunday (1999) and Seabiscuit (2003). Russo claims that he started a fledgling career in organized crime working as an errand boy and mob associate for Frank Costello as an adolescent but later abandoned the dangerous and volatile lifestyle of organized crime. The Staten Island Mafioso Tommy Bilotti was reportedly best man at Russo's wedding. Since the beginning of his acting career, Russo owned a Las Vegas restaurant called Gianni Russo's State Street at 2570 State Street on the Las Vegas Strip (closed in 1988), and reportedly defeated 23 federal criminal indictments on a variety of charges stemming from alleged organized crime associations. Russo is also a singer. In 2004, he released a CD called Reflections that pays homage to Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Russo owns a wine brand, Gianni Russo Wines, which debuted in 2009. In 2019, he published his memoir, Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies and the Mob.

And most recent.. due out this fall “Send No Flowers”.Russo believes it's his crooning that separates him from the mob of other on-screen wise guys.

Hollywood Godfather is Gianni Russo's over-the-top memoir of a real-life mobster-turned-actor who helped make The Godfather a reality, and his story of life on the edge between danger and glamour. Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny―played by James Caan―up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act―he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing, to acting as a messenger for New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello during the Kennedy assassination, to having to go on the lam after shooting and killing a member of the Colombian drug cartel in his Vegas club. Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films. Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex―and fun.

We journey with the internationally celebrated operatic conductor Carlo Rizzi as he revives Il proscritto after 180 years of neglect. Mercadante's opera was first performed in Naples in 1842, and centres on a love triangle set in Scotland during Oliver Cromwell's rule. The original cast were stellar performers, having previously taken lead roles in opera premieres by Verdi and Donizetti. The Neapolitans applauded Act One, but the following Acts were indifferently received, and Il proscritto fell into neglect. Complete with a newly edited score and world class performers, Luke Whitlock journeys with conductor Carlo Rizzi, artistic director of Opera Rara, as he prepares Il proscritto to be heard at the Barbican in London, after nearly 200 years of silence. From collaborating on a new performance edition, heading into the studio to record the opera for commercial release, to journeying to London's Barbican to rehearse and perform the work before a 21st-century audience, this creative process has been a labour of love for Carlo Rizzi and Opera Rara.

Gianni Russo With a singularly nebulous background, which, by his account, included stints as a Las Vegas nightclub emcee, radio personality and jewelry tycoon, and with comparatively little acting experience, Gianni Russo won the role of Carlo Rizzi in The Godfather (1972) on the basis of his screen test. Since then, Russo has remained busy as an actor, mostly playing assorted "wiseguys" and Mafia types. He appeared again with Marlon Brando in a small role in The Freshman (1990) where Brando parodied his Don Corleone role to good effect.

I am lucky that so many of the conductors have been a joy to chat with and this week's episode is no different! Carlo Rizzi was very interesting and such a warm and genial person.

Hollywood Godfather is Gianni Russo's over-the-top memoir of a real-life mobster-turned-actor who helped make The Godfather a reality, and his story of life on the edge between danger and glamour. Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny―played by James Caan―up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act―he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing, to acting as a messenger for New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello during the Kennedy assassination, to having to go on the lam after shooting and killing a member of the Colombian drug cartel in his Vegas club. Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films. Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex―and fun.

Louis Giovanni "Gianni" Russo is an American actor and singer. He is best known for his role as Carlo Rizzi in The Godfather.
The Godfather, Rush Hour 2 I just read on impactful book called : Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & The Mob! I read it cover to cover because it was intense & fascinating. Actor Gianni Russo has led an intriguing life. Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny—played by James Caan—up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act—he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing. Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films. Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex—and fun. Gianni Russo Wines launched nationally in 2009. And he has an expanded product line coming out this year. Born in Manhattan and raised in Little Italy and Staten Island, Russo overcame polio as a child to start his first “business” at the tender age of twelve, selling pens and erasers on the street corners. At eighteen Russo made his first trip to Miami, where he began to dabble in show-business, working in nightclubs and hotspots before deciding to pursue acting and move to Hollywood. His new book: Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & the Mob is an eye-opening read. All Rights Reserved © 2019 BuildingAbundantSuccess!!

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #046 Gianni Russo The Hollywood Godfather! RSWC #046 Gianni Russo https://youtu.be/4-YzugXV96w But did you ask? This is going thru my mind. I couldn't let this chance go by. I asked my son if I should give Gianni Russo a business card and ask if I could drive him around. I put a card in my pocket before we went up to the table. My son and I went to hear Gianni Russo speak in western Massachusetts. Mr Russo is known as the Hollywood Godfather. He played Carlo Rizzi in The Godfather. We were in line waiting to have him autograph his new biography and get a photo with him. I over heard him say that he was doing a signing the next day at a Barnes & Noble. I figured I could get everything ready and film an interview the next day. He said "Yes! I should be free from 4 to 7:30 tomorrow." Gianni Russo has one of the most interesting stories. He used to deliver messages for Frank Costello, an old mafia member. He washed Marilyn Monroe's hair. He learned to act from Marlon Brando and singing from Frank Sinatra. He ran into Lee Harvey Oswald a couple days before Oswald killed JFK. He's got a story about re-enacting a cowboy movie shootout with Elvis at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. You can hear these stories on this episode in this episode of Riding Shotgun With Charlie. There's much more than these things, too. You can read all the stories in his new book, The Hollywood Godfather.

Op Gedichtendag nodigt schrijver, dichter en voormalige Europees Kampioen Poetry Slam Carmien Michels twee bevriende artiesten uit in de Erfgoedbibliotheek. In de muziektheaterproductie BARTóK werkte ze nauw samen met celliste Jolien Deley, die de ene dag Bach de baas kan, de andere dag een festival lamlegt met een van haar bands. Bij onze Noorderburen steelt Carmien de springerige dichter, performer en muzikant Joost Oomen, met wie ze menigmaal het podium deelde in Nederland, maar nog nooit in België. Met zijn frisse en grappige poëzie schopte Joost het al op zijn 20 tot huisdichter van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen en op zijn 23 tot stadsdichter van Groningen. Carmien Michels (1990) danst tussen pen en podium, tussen urban en klassiek. Ze studeerde Woordkunst aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium van Antwerpen. Als afstudeerproject schreef ze haar debuutroman We zijn water, die in 2013 bij de Bezige Bij verscheen en de shortlist van de Debuutprijs en De Bronzen Uil 2014 haalde. Haar tweede roman Vraag het aan de bliksem verscheen in september 2015 bij Uitgeverij Polis. Daarnaast organiseert, presenteert, performt, jureert en doceert ze en werkt ze samen met artiesten van alle slag. In 2011 won ze de Nederlandse NTR Radioprijs. In de finale van het Belgisch Kampioenschap Poetry Slam sleepte ze in 2014 de publieksprijs in de wacht. In januari 2016 won ze het Nederlands en Europees Kampioenschap Poetry Slam. Ze is Huisverteller van M Museum Leuven. In november 2017 verscheen haar poëziedebuut We komen van ver bij Uitgeverij Polis. www.carmienmichels.be Jolien Deley (1992) begon met cello op 5-jarige leeftijd bij Danny Pauwels aan de Stedelijke Academie voor Muziek en Woord in Lokeren. In 2010 ging zij studeren bij Judith Ermert aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium te Gent en in 2016 studeerde zij met grootste onderscheiding voor zowel cello als kamermuziek af. Zij volgde talrijke masterclasses in binnen- en buitenland, ondermeer bij Pieter Wispelwey, Alain Meunier, Ralph Kirshbaum, Justus Grimm, Vladimir Perlin en Razvan Suma. Jolien won verschillende prijzen, waaronder een eerste prijs in de Dexiawedstrijd en in de Internationale Cellowedstrijd Edmond Baert en een finaleplaats in de wedstrijd 'Young Belgian Talent'. Orkestervaring deed Jolien op als lid van de Filharmonie onder leiding van o.a. Philippe Herreweghe, Edo de Waart, Carlo Rizzi, Jaap van Zweden en Martyn Brabbins. Naast de klassieke wereld is Jolien ook actief in de popmuziek als vaste celliste van St. Grandson (winnaar nieuwe lichting 2015), freelancer bij Ides Moon, Hydrogen Sea en Marble Sounds en speelt zij regelmatig studio-opnames. Daarnaast maakt zij deel uit van het collectief ARType waarmee zij een voorstelling maakte rond de componist Bartok en op dit moment werkt aan een voorstelling rond Brussel die in première zal gaan in het voorjaar van 2019. Joost Oomen (1990) is dichter en schrijver. Hij publiceerde de poëziebundels Vliegenierswonden en De stort en maakte de vinylsingle Joost Oomen. Tijdens zijn studies was hij huisdichter van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. In januari 2013 werd hij voor twee jaar benoemd tot zesde stadsdichter van Groningen. Joost is een begenadigd performer en trad onder andere op bij Crossing Border, Lowlands en het Gedichtenbal. Hij programmeert voor de festivals Dichters in de Prinsentuin en Explore the North. In 2016 verscheen zijn chapbook De zon als hij valt, een novelle over de reis die een jongen, een meisje, een oog en een pols afleggen om samen te zijn. Joost werd geselecteerd voor CELA, een ontwikkeltraject voor schrijvers en vertalers uit zes Europese landen. Momenteel werkt hij aan zijn debuutroman en een derde dichtbundel.

Actor and alleged wiseguy Gianni Russo, who played the traitorous Carlo Rizzi in the original Godfather, stops by to talk about people he?s bumped off in real life (two, maybe three that he'll admit to), having sex with Liza Minnelli and Marilyn Monroe and taking acting lessons from Marlon Brando.
