Michael doesn't interrupt people when they're talking. Some interviewers cut people off, but Michael lets people talk ... You feel his respect and admiration for Armand !

[@davebonilla4561]

Michael is the best interviewer for that very reason. And when he does speak, it has purpose. He doesn't talk just to hear himself speak.

Who needs Netflix or similar when you have content such as this ? The standard is consistently excellent,

Never spend much time in Netflix. Mainly on KZbin . There’s diamonds there.

[@4music164]

Still plenty of good shows on Netflix that make it worth the $. And comparing Netflix to KZbin is apples&oranges, they're similar in some regards but totally totally different in others. Most people just like them both.

Franzese is such a smooth talker and Assante is such a natural that it almost seems that Assante is the former gangster and Franzese is the actor.

[@AristotleSanchez1000]

Always loved everything I ever saw with Assante. What I appreciate about Armand 's interview is that he didn't try to come off like he had any "gangster" in himself or that he was ever any kind of street guy or part of that world. Just gave his thoughts on what he was trying to do or accomplish when playing those parts

And Anthony Quinn!;Quinn was a real sympathizer for Gotti anyway. I can still vaguely remember him demonstrating outside a courtroom involving Gotti, announcing Gotti was a real man.

Armand Assante is my all time favorite actor. I saw him in a TV movie “ why me” based on a true story of a nurse disfigured in a car accident and he was the surgeon that reconstructed her face.. He is gifted beyond words and a true gentleman and humanitarian.. love him❤️

Armand Assante is an AMAZING actor, such a phenomenal talent and a hard worker! And it's always a pleasure to listen to Michael Franzese. Thank you, gentlemen! This sit down was a treat!

[@paulkelly5788]

That was worth watching. The story of the 2 sons killing their father and then feeling haunted by his ghost for 30 years brought me out in goosebumps. Armande Assante was also incredible. Not only a great actor but an intelligent man.

[@dr.tomgio6694]

Back in 1985/86 I ran into Armand at Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Rome. I immediately recognized him, waved and smiled as I walked past. He smiled back. We didn't say a word to one another. I had been studying acting at Strasberg's Theater Institute for some time when I decided to return to university and finish my undergraduate program. I was already accepted into my doctoral program and my life was going into a completely different direction. Assante, however, always impressed me as an actor and I knew his entire story. So now, I see two guys in an interview; one is a man I once aspired to be like and one who I believe I would have been proud to call a colleague. Michael, I believe you would have made a fine doctor. However, in life we will never know where our next step will bring us, but it will always be to our future. Che il buon Dio vi benedica.

[@susanmilata5928]

Armand is such a class act! what a great interview.

[@y-unespynchonesky9708]

Haven't watched yet but, couldn't wait to comment. Armand Assante is an unbelievable actor! He goes 110 percent for any role. He was great in gotti, Q&A, super fun in Judge Dredd,The Odyssey but, my favorite of his is a rarely mentioned, little artsy movie called When Nietzsche Wept.

[@MtnMan-ny6vu]

These sit downs with Armand Assante are just excellent. He's such an astutely aware, "old-school" guy and his perspective on everything going on right now in American society is really honest and regretfully accurate. Watching you two have this conversation was really a pleasure, Michael. This channel of yours is an island of positive, forward thinking, and intelligent civil discourse amongst an ocean of what I consider banal minutiae. Thanks for the terrific content.

Armand Assante did a fantastic job playing John Gotti. It came out natural. I did not like the way John Travolta did it.

[@GoodFilms28]

If Travolta had a performance like Assante, he would’ve been perfect cause he looks just like Gotti. Don’t care what anyone says

[@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO.]

Armand Assante is the best Gotti. Tom Sizemore was decent, but still better than Travolta.

I didn’t see Travoltas Gotti. Didn’t want to after seeing Armand portray him. Nobody does it better

Travolta as good of an actor as he is, had no business playing Gotti. Once you watch HBO's version, there's no comparison.

He’s spot on about The Godfather being a metaphor about the hypocrisy in a mans life. We see this is personal lives, the churches (no matter the denomination), the governments, and the world.

Such another GREAT sitdown! Armand Asante is an incredible actor. Micheal, you stated that you hoped America would continue as it was for you...it saddens me to say...Scripture, as you know it as a Christian says, No Can Do. Whether its today, tomorrow, a decade from now or another century...we, as well as this planet are finite. The Word of Our Lord is bond...the same today, tomorrow and forever. We need to live are lives taking care of one another instead of mankind's treacherous ways. As the GREAT Anthony Quinn said at his death in Gotti; "This thing is over in like 5 minutes." Keep the Excellent Sitdowns Coming!🙏

[@lehampton1]

IMDB shows Armand currently has 15 projects in the works. This man is 72 years old and busier than most actors are at 30. I think he would be a great older Sonny Franzese. I also think Jon Bernthal would make an excellent younger Sonny. He looks like the 40 year old Sonny more than anyone else and he has the acting chops to play a middle aged Sonny.

Assante was also a hugely comedic actor when he was cast in the role.... he was a pleasure on this planet to watch.... Michael Franzese is an example of the ideal of rehabilitation within a single lifetime generation.... that is a rarity when you consider that seconds don't stop for anyone and the opportunity to rehab is often never able to be realized because of situational circumstance.
