ARMEN GARO UNSHACKLED
** "I think it's more in the minds of people, where they have perceptions of me when you see me on screen, or you know, Walmart. But I'm very boring to be around. I wake up patiently every day and wait for tomorrow - I lean back and listen to talk radio..."
Armen Garo Talks Shackled, The Wolf Of Wall Street, The Sopranos, His Mephisto, And Memories Of Vincent Pastore...Moving on from mobsters and monsters on Wall Street to his street-wise career criminal Max in the dystopian combo sci-fi crime thriller Shackled set in the US prison system.
Garo, our guest on the show, delves into butting heads paired with one such incarcerated con-man Wall Street hustler. Which creates a fascinating dynamic in Shackled of social and econmic disparity - with the smug convicted stock market manipulator believing he's both above the law and morally superior to his repugnant lower class mandatory inmate match.
Garo likewise revisits recollections of Vincent Pastore who just passed away earlier this month, their shared memories of The Sopranos and his Coco Cogliano, along with co-starring with Pastore in Vault and Good 'N Screwed. While Garo, a former cop turned actor, is no stranger to both worlds on and off screen, and police criminality he observed as well.
Garo also sheds light into his dark venture as a mystery Mephisto upcoming in Lady America. And as real life Italian comic legend Aldo Fabrizi in Volcanoes Rising - described as Ingrid Bergman and Anna Magnani 'in a feud for the ages, fighting for the same role and the same man (Roberto Rossellini), causing volcanoes to erupt.'
