Gianni Russo--Rare 1993 TV Interview, The Godfather

Actor-singer Gianni Russo, who played Carlo Rizzo in "The Godfather," is interviewed by cable TV host Skip E. Lowe in this 1993 program.

[@frankie1012]

He looks and sounds nothing like he does today. Ppl age but this dude transformed into a whole new person.

[@deezymoe7702]

Exactly!

[@Stephanie-hv1vn]

he was shy back then

To a Bullshitter

[@KhaledTheSaudiHawkII]

Maybe he became a state witness and went into the protection program. Cosmetic surgeries are customary for people who flip and need protection.

[@dandrson7903]

These guys all become charicatures of themselves as they age. Look at Al Pacino in his senior years. He did Scent of the Woman and never stopped playing that part after.

[@marlisamorgan2]

This is the ONLY normal interview I've seen this guy do. He wasn't name dropping every 5 seconds!

[@accavanos]

Did you watch the video. Ok. He named dropped every minute. Listen bro

Days before he developed his bs as an art form it was his only way to hustle. Da guys a survivor

It’s hard to believe this is the cat from the VladTv interview.

I'm here too! Same reason. He told the truth to Vlad and lying to this guy. Telling the story a different way, lol!

Haha im here after Vlad too 😂 He looks so different an not bad looking at all! Same laugh though. Yeah funny no mafia talk here! I believe his vlad interview too, I havent watched the valuentertainment interview yet but I like how that Patrick guy interviews.

[@iVenge]

1993 - Sinatra was still alive. Get a fucking clue.

[@Drew__Films]

@@iVenge What does that have to do with anything? He says in other videos Sinatra gave him singing lessons in the 80s. I'm just saying this guy can never get his story straight...

[@iVenge]

Andrew What he says about somebody while they’re still alive would understandably be different than what he says about them after they’re dead. Especially if they come from a certain culture or way of life. Maybe he doesn’t need to know Sinatra while he’s alive, if you get my meaning.

[@icebergbart216]

Being able to watch this after the VLAD interview is awesome

[@CasperLCat]

When Michael takes the drink away from Carlo, you know he’s dead, despite the story about flying him to Vegas. As soon as Michael gets Barzini’s name out of him, Carlo doesn’t deserve one more atom of consideration as a human being - he’s “done” in the most serious sense of the word. Every word of dialogue, every costume choice, every look and gesture tells a story in Godfather, that’s why you love watching it over and over. Coppola’s Godfather I and II for me is the greatest directorial performance ever. His attention to detail in those films was unbelievable.

[@TosereOjeme]

The voice is different, the face is different. He’s like a totally different person on Vlad.

[@judymcgaugh6480]

He actually smiles the same, and laughs the same..no matter what may be lies or what may be truth, its all about how entertained you are when he tells these stories and how its up to you to believe them or not. Most guys when they are telling stories alway try to up the outcome but thats when the group says WTF**F IS HE SAYING, OR FAHGETTABOUDIT YOU BABBO...

[@dustyrhodes1655]

He now embarrassingly exaggerates his accent...

[@user-gabriel90]

It’s been 28’yrs he is an elderly man now so of course he looks very different but do you notice he seems to talk more gangster when he is older his inflections and in that respect he is a lot different

Because this is when he was getting the attention he craves, when he was in a hit movie like the godfather. He’s been chasing it ever since and gets more and more desperate for it as the years go by. He’s a classic narcissist like most people seem to be these days

[@charliemancuso6980]

“You have to answer for Sonni, Carlo” One of my favourite lines in the movie. How cool Michael plays it and even though Carlo suspects it’s gonna happen he hopes it won’t. You can tell that he realizes that Michael is being way too nice about it and he’s wondering if he’s going to be killed.

Gianni is a very respected gentleman all over the world especially in NYC. I have met him through a Italian “friend of mine “ about 7 years ago in NYC. Great guy,amazing life which should be on the big screen because his life is a amazing story. From polio and being quarantined for years, to his run in with Frank Costello and how that event changed his life. His run in to Pablo Escobar ,Saddam Hussein how washing hair led to a every teenaged boys dream of meeting Marilyn Monroe and dealings with the Kennedy ‘s. He’s a fun guy to be around and he will keep you laughing constantly. I hope Gianni or someone is writing a script about his life because his life was/is a movie.

This is hilarious! I used to deliver pizza to this guy, pretty regularly, in Tarzana, California, in the early to mid-90's. He had the hair slicked back, the tan, and an attractive young lady (who was just a few years older than me). As I got to know him a bit, I asked him what he did, and he told me he'd produced and acted in a Steven Seagal movie, and some other stuff that I don't recall. No mention of the Godfather (that I recall), and I hadn't seen it at that point, anyway, so wouldn't have recognized him. He had a Range Rover and I think a BMW in the driveway whenever I delivered, and he told me he had a Bentley in the garage (I only had a very vague notion of what a Bentley was then, lol). He actually offered me a job at one point, but I told him I was making good money (I had a full-time 9-to-5 job, plus the pizza delivery, and I thought I was rolling in the dough, lol), and turned him down. Who knows how things would have gone if I'd said yes? Edit: Let me stress that he was a nice guy, as was the lady, and he tipped well, lol.

[@lilalov1569]

Even the interviewer seemed to be ready to jump at him too !!!!

[@CommonCentrist82]

I like this version of Gianni better than the current version. He has a lot of tall tails as an old man.

[@jerryday9838]

He was a handsome man when he was younger.

[@cindyfitzgerald4500]

I think he still is

[@johnnymomascaro]

Great guy. He had the looks for acting. Look for his most recent KZbin video interviews promoting his book Hollywood Godfather and upcoming biography movie. His bone structure and demeanor reminds me of JFK Jr

[@frankie1012]

If JFK Jr and George Clooney had a son.

[@mariaziak7387]

Absolutely!! I was just imagining JFK jnr , how he’d look had he lived Extremely handsome indexed

I think Martin Shorts Jiminy Glick character might be partially based on Skip Lowe

[@csea4672]

So funny knowing the real background of him getting that role and what he told Brando

[@willmosse3684]

Wow, this guy was really normal in 1993. Been watching his 2019 publicity, and he comes across as a weird cartoon wannabe mobster bullshit artist. He played Carlo amazingly, especially considering he had never acted before.

[@Os_-tw4ot]

Will Mosse literally was thinking the same thing after watching his recent interview- literally two different people

[@nicksantnicola9910]

He sounds normal here...he's lost it somewhere along the line... often sez that he was part of the Frank Costello mob and they put him in Godfather to see how much of the script was really about the mob. Who knows? I do know a lot of mob people lived on Staten Isl. Russo does a club act occasionally as a singer...terrible!

[@hairypolack]

you took the words right out of my mouth, well said

[@silvervalleystudios2486]

Hes really cooked now. Probably to much booze and drugs

[@Robconnors7253]

He recently did an interview on 77 WABC here in New York City ( April 2019 )

[@rondavanzo6161]

In this interview, he says he hardly knew Sinatra. In Vlad’s and other Sinatra was his sons Godfather. Total BS.

[@SissyKay]

Here he looks nothing like he did in The Godfather. I wouldn't even know it's the same guy. He does have a great singing voice! He's full of surprises. lol

[@arlettedumais5776]

He was in his mid-twenties when he did The Godfather. Here he's mid 50's? On Vlad 80? HUGE difference!

[@SissyKay]

@@arlettedumais5776 Right. Also a lot of bad face surgery hasn't helped.

[@MegaThegin]

And He also looked differently in the Godfather

[@yasminx16]

He was so handsome

[@LENTODAWG702]

I now understand why this man made love to marylin Monroe for 3 days straight 🙌 Well done sir 👏

[@conditionallyunconditional5691]

I trained all the tigers for Siegfried & Roy. It was easy!

[@JeremyBrackett-q4w]

The guy doing interview, wow😅 i could watch him all day😂😂😂😂

[@twoshady518]

a legend in his own mind

[@prometheustree-m9w]

"Raconteur" is the polite word.

[@babachlovari4782]

Sinatra who? Kennedy? Carlo gambino? No! Its the kid Gianni Russo lol . Just for the simple fact of him having an ambition that surpassed all of these legends i gotta gove it to him lol

[@InfoArtistJKatTheGoodInfoCafe]

Funny how so many commenters are jealous of Russo🤣😂🤔

[@prometheustree-m9w]

@@InfoArtistJKatTheGoodInfoCafe ... Thanks for posting, Gianni!!

[@josephsharp5678]

He's done more than you would ever dream about in life champ lol.

[@highlithouse6481]

Dang that looks like 2 different people... Now I believe him when he said he slept with marilyn monroe. Hes handsome

[@vast5853]

the interviewer is me after being awake for 40 hours

[@julietteyork3721]

I thought Martin Short made up the Jiminy Glick character but I since learned he based him on this interviewer.
