  SPEAKER_00: Six one.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: Do you have any funny stories of the social clubs?
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not asking you to name names, but just something funny that happened growing up in the neighborhood.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: Uh well, these guys are bigger than life.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_01: They're uh they were like movie stars in the neighborhood.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_01: When you grew up in a neighborhood like this, the the wise guys are movie stars.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: Because they were bigger than life.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: You know, they when you're a young man, you're a young kid, and you, you know, you're driving on your on your bike down the block, you go to the avenue, and you see all these guys sitting in front of social clubs and pinky rings and Cadillacs and beautiful women around.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_01: And just they were always, to me, they were just energetic guys that that like to break each other's balls and have fun.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_01: And look, my look at what I seen was positivity because uh they always seem to be, you know, nice and and and uh and um looked out for for for the neighborhood for the most part.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: You know where you stand with people like that.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you know where you stand.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: That's the one thing about that, because a lot of times you don't know where you stand with people and people, you you know uh how to behave or to act is because there's consequences if you hang around, you know, what if you do something you shouldn't do or be disrespectful, you you you know, you know where you stand.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: So um, but like I said, they were movie stars growing up as a kid, you know.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_01: Even you know, everybody wanted to get into the club pastels when you're younger.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_01: It was a club in Bay Ridge, and everybody's you know, whose uncle was somebody, or whose cousin was somebody, or who's, you know, so the testosterone in that place was very high.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but you know, I uh my experiences were just uh seeing these people just um as a kid uh and um them being funny, you know, and then just you know, just neighborhood people, you know.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: People like people read into this stuff so much.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: The neighborhood is filled with not just, you know, it definitely has a mob element in there, but there's so many other people that came from there, so many cops that came from there, there's so many firemen that came from there, there's so many sanitation workers that came from there.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody always just thinks of gangsters.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, gangsters come from there.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: Our neighborhood, I think, had the most gangsters out of anywhere.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: I think Graves and Benson has probably had the most mob influence of anywhere in America.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: And in America, I think that that's where, but a lot of other things, and and the show's not just about that.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: That's the part of the character.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: But the show is about other things, other people in the neighborhood, the ice cream trucks, the ice cream trucks that came down the block, the the garbage men that picked up your sanitation, the cops that that that came and well for the most part didn't bother anybody.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: For the most part, you know, it was different.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: You know, what would you know they they for the most part, people, you know, even with the fireworks and this and that, you know, people kind of got along pretty well.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: Um, even with the cops, even the gangsters and the cops, they they, you know, whatever.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: They they didn't really um they didn't really bother those.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: That wasn't their job.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: Their job wasn't to infraclate gangsters, their job was to just, you know, give tickets and and half the times you had a PBA.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: This is what I love about New York policemen.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: This is what I love about New York cops.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: This is what I love about them.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you this.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: If you have a PBA card and you speak respectful, you don't think who you are, and you get pulled over and you say, My uncle's on the job, my cousin's on the job, and you show your shield and you speak nice, 99.9% of the time they're gonna let you go.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_01: You know why?
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: Because they respect the other policemen that gave you that PBA card for the most part.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: But if you act like an idiot, my uncle's a you're gonna get a ticket.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: So it's good and bad and everything, my friend.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: True.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: So West Street Productions is named after the block you grew up on.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm guessing it was important to you to keep the connection and the name to your company.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, sir.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: And how much of Benny Z engraves end comes from people you actually knew versus composite characters?
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: Well, from what I've seen, you know, uh Benny Z, um, well, you know, just like you could be at at a feast.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: You could be at the Avenue feast as a young man and see where all the guys were hanging out and just see how they walked and um talked and uh how you knew you were in trouble just by a look.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: You don't they don't need to yell or scream.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: The people that yell and scream are the people that are usually the weakest.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: The people that don't say nothing are the ones, from what I see, are the ones you gotta really worry about.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: The guy that's barking the loudest usually has the smallest punch, from what I could see.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_01: Um so um uh I just try to make this character um be as authentic as he can be in the way he dresses and talks.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, sometimes people I don't understand, sometimes people say about the accent like it's a fake accent.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what they're talking about, bro.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: I literally walked from my block to home.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: What the fuck are you talking about?
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: Excuse my like like the accent is the accent.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: Like like and the accent is almost gone because it's um it's uh you don't see the younger generation have the accent that much anymore.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's interesting.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't I didn't realize that.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: And William, you and your casting director do an excellent job finding the right actors for Graves End.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: I'm blown away about by the amount of talented people that that that just pop up on your show.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a who's who of mob actors and cat and badass character actors like William Forsyte, Tony Darrow, Chaz Palmateri, Paul Ben Victor, Dominic Chianese.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: How are you guys able to balance that?
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: Well, as a director, if you hire the right people, you don't have to worry that much.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: And there's a reason why you've seen these guys over and over and over again because they do a great job.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: It's like because when I have castings, you know, for newer talent, sometimes it's hard to find what exactly we're looking for.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um so that's why you see these guys like a like you know, we all knew Frank Vinson was pretty much in every gangster we ever made, and he would have been in this show.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um uh yeah, I mean, having these guys, and then you know, you blend younger generation characters like my the my son that plays um Sammy and the younger group in there, you know, kind of like he's on kind of like the Christopher Maltesante, my son's character is kind of similar to that of the Sopranos, a younger guy, younger young bucks coming up, and you and you got Chaz Pominteri's daughter, who was excellent.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Gabriella, she plays um the role of Rosemary.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um you just you it's just a great blend of people.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: Uh they call it the uh the expendables of the mob genre, people are saying is my as our cast.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: I I just find it fascinating.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, you guys just keep getting more and more talented people.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: You you were supposed to be an extra in a Bronx tale, and you wound up getting a speaking pop part.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: What did De Niro see in you that day, and what did that your first set teach you?
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, that's when I knew something was uh special because they was they lined up about 30 of us.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: We were all stickball kids.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: They lined 30 kids up against the wall.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: Robert De Niro walked over and um the first person he picked was me.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: I was numbed the first person he picked for these three people for a scene.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_01: Um and uh I just felt um felt like it was my calling.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like that was my calling.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: If if he wouldn't have picked me out, who knows what I would have done.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: If I would have just and again, I didn't have a big part, right?
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_01: But there was 30 kids lined up against the wall, and he picked me and two others who happen to be one one is the guy that plays Rocco in my show, Peter Gordio, who's a fantastic actor and a dear friend, and another guy was my friend Lenny, who I grew up with, who I I got him to come with me that day.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: So they picked the three of us out of 30 people, and I was the first person that got picked, and I um I I felt like that was where I needed to be.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: I felt like that.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: And after Yeah, and but after that early break, when did you decide to start writing and producing your own work instead of just waiting for more acting jobs?
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: It seems like you're very proactive.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: Um, well, I kind of felt like, you know, Stallone and was my biggest inspiration is Sylvester Stallone, number one.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: Because he, you know, we're both left-handed.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and um, I'm not trying to compare myself to anyone.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_01: Just that my whole story was kind of like a million to one shot myself.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't know anyone in Hollywood.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I was inspired the most by Rocky.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: And um his story that no one believed in him and he he no one wanted him to play a lead character.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: And um he just uh said, I gotta make my own way.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: So I felt that that was what I needed to do.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: And I felt like Jazz Palmenteri was the next person because I was in the movie that he no one bul you know, another guy who just made his own way.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: Hollywood is not easy, my friend.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_01: By no way, shape, or form.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_01: And everybody has an opinion and everyone will tell you you can't do this.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: And people say you can't be a leading man, you can't be this, you can't be that, you can't And you just gotta believe in yourself and have faith in my faith is with Jesus Christ.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: And I feel like that um with him I can do anything if you just I stay on course and I try to do the best that I possibly can and wish other people well and um stay in my own lane and just focus on what I'm doing.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: Early on, what was it like from a kid from Brooklyn getting a role in the hit series The Sopranos?
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it was it was the best.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: It was like I kept saying um because early on, um everyone was saying, I'll come in on the Sopranos.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: They kept saying it, saying it, and then I remember I got hauled earlier.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: I was supposed to be in it the year before when I was doing the movie Analyze That, where I played the character Al Pacino.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_01: So um just to even though I didn't have a very big part, but I learned a lot.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: It was just uh it's just great.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: And what it did for Italian Americans uh actors is just employing so many people.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and look, that's the that's a there's a perfect story about something that no one thought that was going to be what it was.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_01: They didn't think it was gonna be that.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_01: And it just, you know, sometimes listen, it took a little time.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, that hit pretty big.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: The timing was right for the Sopranos.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_01: The timing was right.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: It was when the world needed something like that, you know, right after 9-11.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: It was like the timing was perfect.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: And that's what it is.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: It's timing.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of things.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's the characters, you know.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: There was different people that was that would think that they thought about to play Tony Soprano, and um, it winded up with, you know, Gandalf, who was brilliant.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: And on The Sopranos, you played a character, Jason Molinaro, which puts you in Paulie Walnut's crew.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: What was it like to work with the late Tony Sirico?
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: Tony was an interesting man.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: Tony was uh a character.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_01: Like Tony was the like the character he played was him.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_01: He was just he was just so old school.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like completely old school.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: Like uh he was perfect for the role.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he was just I mean, you can't get more authentic than Tony Sirico.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he was a Brooklyn guy.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he was just spot on.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: You know, when you grow up in Brooklyn um and you play these type of characters, your education comes from just growing up there.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: Just you don't need to go to acting school to to to be a neighborhood guy.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: Acting school is your craft.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'll never forget when I went on audition um years ago, and I said to the casting director, I I want to lose my accent.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: I said, Oh, I don't I want to be more versatile, and I'd rather, you know which I worked on.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: And she said, Do you realize what you have is something that we don't lose it, she goes, because it's what we she goes, it's so rare to find it.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: And you have something that fits that.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_01: And she was she was like, You what you have is what we want when it comes to this type of stuff.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: So uh that stayed with me.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: There's just different things that stayed with me um through the years.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's one of them.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: When you're directing yourself, especially as Benny Z, how do you stay objective about your own performance?
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: I uh well, I defer to people, um, other actors that like I'll be looking in the monitor, like a Chaz Pominteri or a Vince Cortola, or uh, you know, my son is very good at this too now.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: He's he grew up in this and he's he'll give me a a note, or a Paul Boghesi who directed other movies that I've been in, or my producer Michelle Francesco's.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: I have other people that are just come back and just, you know, if something isn't exactly right, like we'll we'll talk about it um and see.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_01: But I've been in sync with this because I've I've been um I've been on doing this for a while now.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: I'm up to season three.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: William, a lot of actors wait for the phone to ring and you keep making your own movies and series.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: What's your advice to people who feel stuck?
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: Like they're waiting to ask for permission.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: Well My advice for you actors is try to get a good agent, number one.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: Because you need to have representation.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_01: If you get somebody that can get you in the door, you gotta really try to bet your best to find that an agent to back you.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's that's one thing.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um Yeah, but just do your own stuff if you can.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: Just try to do your own things and and and stay active.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um there was no backup plan for me.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: Um I never had a weight tables or anything, not that there's anything wrong with that at all.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: Because that's what you need to do, because you have to have a job that can give you the um flexibility.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: But I had like some my own business ads I had like a vending company business at which I didn't have to necessarily be there all the time.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: So you gotta try to find something a job or business that you can do that you can break away.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: And that's what I had, is I had my own company that if I was able to go on an audition it wouldn't stop me, or if I was able to get a part.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: But most people are bartenders and stuff like that because they can get off from work for those things.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_01: Um I have friends that it's a rough business.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_01: I I have working actors, they're working actors.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: They're bartend sometimes because they're working, but you know, I have working actors doing construction, but things that you know it's hard to be only two percent make a living.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_01: One percent is like the Brad Pitts of the world.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you know.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: I just think that if you believe in yourself, it's also hard today because of social media and everyone trying to break down everybody.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's what they do.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: Like you got a podcast now and you know, people don't want to see you.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, they say pot shots.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_01: Of course.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_01: Those you know, they they they try to deter you.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: They want you to hear you're not good enough to make you think you're really not good.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: That's they so you just that you know, like those that's uh you know it's just that you just gotta st filter that out and have thick skin.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_01: You have to have thick skin if you wanna be a um if you wanna do something that's um like the one percent, the two percent, if you wanna be in the spotlight, you have to have thick skin.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: You need it.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: Because you no matter who you are, you could be the greatest, you could win an Oscar three years in a row, and the second something else they'll be jabbing at you.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: People will just be uh it's just just that's why you just stay on course and do what you do and just have faith and you know who your friends are and just keep going.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: We're talking about starting a business and you're quite the entrepreneur, you have your Brooklyn clothing uh line as well.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: How does that fit with the film series and does it go with the same audience?
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um I started Brooklyn Brand uh before I did the show.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_01: Um I felt like that everybody from Brooklyn was for the most part very proud.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like it's the most proudest borough um out of all the five.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: Um not taking anything away from these other boroughs.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: I love the Bronx, I love all I love all these other boroughs, but I felt like that fashion-wise, that um Brooklyn is its own.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: I that's why I call it Brooklyn brand, because I felt like when you're from Brooklyn, you're a brand.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_01: You're your own brand.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: Like um, and that's why I came up with that name.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: And uh we incorporated it in the show as it went on because I felt like it worked.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't have forced it in if it didn't work.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: Felt like this guy, someone would come to him because they weren't fashion, they were in the garment district, they were into that.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_01: So someone comes to him and says, We got this idea to get this clothing brand going, these sweatsuits, and that's what they all wore.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_01: So um I felt like it fit.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: Fit the it fit being in the show.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh that's the only reason it's there.
• 18:12
