John Travolta opens up about 'Gotti'

[@ericspero996]

Armand Assante gave the definitive performance of Gotti.

[@headshotsongs9465]

True. His character was perfect.

[@wanderingangelstudio1359]

Agreed.

[@childoflegion6748]

Agree! The HBO movie was a fantastic portrayal

[@davidschmidt270]

John Gotti Junior says otherwise....

[@stevenmitchell2996]

In some films, not all his films John Travolta portrays a badass but he's not really like that in real life. He's a great actor.

Finally telling it like it should always be told…

[@debmiller4649]

I love John Travolta and he is a great actor but Armand assante did a great job playing Gotti in the HBO film and he resembles John Gotti more

[@maxscherzer4123]

deb miller Armand did not resemble Gotti at all he just did a beautiful acting job....and his accent was very poor not poor playing an Italian but poor soundin like gotti....they both did poor it’s just the hbo gotta was a good movie and travoltas sucked

[@tito9694]

I feel Tom Sizemore did it best in "Witness to the mob"

[@thomasjust2663]

Hollywood is the ultimate relationship business, they are probably more than a few many talented new actors that thirst for an opportunity out there, but they are not friends or aquatinted with directors, producers, casting directors, you know key figures that help you land a acting gig

[@SuperBabytee1]

I 💘 Mr. Travolta as an actor. His spirit, generosity, and kindness are matched by a rare few. But, as a New Yorker, from Queens and Babylon, he couldn't capture Johnny Boy like Armond Assante. Watch HBO's version of Gotti from like '96, it's on you tube. Then holla at me.

[@yankee2666]

Assante didn't come close to Gotti. Great actor, but no Gotti. Take it from a Hollywood acting teacher.

If you haven't seen it yet, it's a couple years old, watch "The Forger". His teenage son is dying and he's helping him with his bucket list. One scene in particular ripped my heart out because his "son" was having a seizure and I immediately thought of Jett. It's a great movie.

[@davedarius7346]

MrTruboy If being 20 years of age is a kid, then so be it. I used to watch John Travolta's movies ever since I was a kid. He rocks over the top roles in action flicks such as face off and Broken Arrow. Also not mentioning disco based Saturday Night Fever and the legendary Pulp Fiction. His career held up pretty good even in the 2000's. What more to say, He is doing pretty decent work even at the present. Just so cringy that people sometimes bias him based on John's personal views and choices.
