A good actor, I met him in Palm Springs, late 80's we had a short conversation due to my state of mind. I wish I had spoken to him longer. I've read your book Hollywood Godfather and learned that you worked for my father Charly a long time ago when you were a young. I wish I could talk to you again.

Gianni Russo is truly a gentleman and class act. Personally I haven't gotten to meet him yet, but he's inspiring to me. He's lived and been through enough for three lifetimes. Gianni's life is so intriguing and eventful I hope mine can be as amazing someday. His boon is a must-read, I recommend it to everyone.

I can't believe you worked for the crime world before entering the film industry. I saw your work in the film "The Godfather." The movie was really wonderful. We all supported you when you killed that man who was a troubling female patron. You are a decent guy. We are eagerly waiting for some more acting works from you.
