LILLO BRANCATO???
This name may not sound familiar but maybe Calogero or "C" is more familiar. LILLO played 17yr old Calogero in A Bronx Tale. I just saw this movie on TV and something about LILLO's character Calogero stood out to me. Maybe it’s that cute Italian guy thing or that he was interested in a black girl who knows all I know is I hadn’t seen him in recent movies and wondered what he’d been up too. I do this from time to time if I'm watching a movie and see an actor that I haven’t seen in a while I get curious about what they’re doing so being the google queen I am I googled him.
After A Bronx Tale he appeared in other movies and TV as well as 6 episodes on the Sopranos but sadly I also found out that he is doing 10yrs in Rikers Island. Robert De Niro told him to be careful in this industry. What to watch out for and just tried to give him guidance. But of course when we are young we think nothing can happen to us and he shook off De Niro words. He started using drugs and in a robbery attempt an off duty police officer was killed. He was acquitted of the murder but sentenced for the robbery. I hate hearing stories like this.
In an interview he says he regrets not taking De Niro’s advice. I just hope when he gets out he surrounds himself with positive people.
