Gotti 96 is an incredibly underrated movie
I agree, a great movie no doubt, and he "killed" it as Gotti !
Itâs THE BEST movie!
& tbh without his performance ... tho obviously a great film ... wouldn't quite be held in the same esteem perhaps đ€
So true
He's making a new movie of gotti
This man is an actorâs OG!!! From his mannerisms, to his well spoken fluency, The way he tells classic stories. Give this man flowers right now and put the utmost respect on his name, Armand Assante!!
100% agree! I've seen that film close 8-9 times and it always feels fresh. Love from Australia
Haha upmost đ€Łđ€Łđ€Šđ€Š
Bad guy from judge dredd
Well, if you have John Gotti Junior, picking the actors and score of a movie that pretty much sums up what Armand is trying to say lol
He was the best Odysseus ever! 33/10 would recommend!
Armand Assante great actor ..most underated..so easy on the eye
Mr. Assante is one of the most underrated Actors there is. His work is of the Highest Level and in my humble opinion, itâs because of what he brings to a role. His character work is impeccable. He becomes the Character from the inside out. Again, in my opinion, he is on the same level as Mr. De Niro and Mr. Pacino. In fact, Iâll go a step further and say this, he is in a league all his own. Excellent interview. Thanks for sharing. Be well.
Armand is so charismatic and very Italian because he can't talk without his hands. What a great sit down with two living legends! Thank you Michael!
He's Puerto Rican not Italian man
@@danieldimino4622 he is Italian and Irish descent
They are also a couple of mature sexy men â€ïžđŻ
@@danieldimino4622 he wasn't born in Puerto Rico.
@@Anne-pv9cb Regarding where he was born and his background.
*"Assante was born in New York City and raised in Cornwall, New York, the son of Armand Anthony Assante Sr. (August 5, 1922 - August 25, 2017),[1] a painter and artist, and Katharine (née Healy) (October 16, 1921 - June 29, 2011), a music teacher, English teacher and poet.[2][3][4] He is of Italian and Irish descent.[5]"*
Armand is so well spoken and smart. You can tell he really understands film and acting. what a true gentleman and talent. Hope everyone is safe and doing well.
You can but I wouldn't have bet on him being like that before listening to this interview.
Re up m m yh
You could listen to Armand Assante talk about the movies and theatre all day, great.
He whistles
Likewise, Mr. Gault. God bless you.
"For you to Die rich and me die poor" For Arman to say that on your sit down was absolutely amazing
Crazy when Armand was so gr8 as Jihn Gotti now when I hear hear his voice that's all I can think about
Armand would have been brilliant as Richie Aprile in the Sopranos. That said, David Proval's performance was still incredible!
Man he would of been great in the sopranos
Great shout
@James Pietsch Why's that?
@James Pietsch Well, it is fiction
@James Pietsch He wouldnt have the makings of a varsity athlete on the show anyhow. Oh!
Armand is not a âmovie starâ, he is actorâs actor trained in the tradition of New York theater. Great interview Michael.
He's both.
Itâs not an interview itâs a sit down
DeNiro, Pacino, Nicholson, Bogart and Depp are truly both.
@James Pietsch thanks for your insight and Iâm not aware of the negativities youâve implied regarding DeNiro or DeppâŠbut I do know DeNiro is a cheap tipper but Depp is quite a generous one.đ The guys Iâve mentioned are what I consider to be true movie stars in the context of this discussion, and I forgot to add a few more like Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington and Anthony HopkinsâŠBogart, Pacino and Nicholson are tops on my list as well.
One of the best interviews or "sit downs" I've ever experienced
That Gotti movie was a classic! I don't why he didn't play in a lot more Mob movies after that... He's up there with Pacino, Deniro, and Pesci in my book...he even killed it in American Gangster... delivered one of the most iconic lines in that movie... "Success took a shot at you... What are you going to do, become unsuccessful...Frank, you can be successful and have enemies, or you can be unsuccessful and have friends"
made alot of bad b movies
@@bazookajoe6760 Exactly. Half of his work was bullshit sadly. His best film IMO was Gotti
Michael is a hell of good interviewer , he ask some good question , knows when to ask it and let his guest talk at will without interrupting ...so refreshing .
He lets the actor talk without interrupting his train of thought, which is important when you are interviewing an older actor.
HBO should put Gotti in the cinemas for 1 day worldwide imagine the money it would make.
"How long have we been around this thing of ours? This Cosa Nostra? 120 years. What's it about? It's about the rules, parameters. You take the beating for a friend, you don't run, you don't lay down, you don't betray who you are. What you are". Mr. Assante, a legendary actor in one of my all time favorite films. Thank you for this, Michael!!
"You gotta remember Angie, my brother Gene, Joey dimeg they don't roll. They're doing 1000 years now. They don't roll they dont rat. Why? That's the rule you don't break you dont rat"
Yes!!!

Amazing I've seen guys and important one that took a beating. From days I lived in Brooklyn NY. I was born in the city. But Brooklyn 12 yrs. NYC were the Hispanic street gangs.
Thing of yours? Youâre a peasant
Gotti was a terrific movie. Armand Assante is a phenomenal actor and a great person!
Assante has to be in the Top 10 of all time. He is that good but he didn't play the Hollywood game like the others so parts were not offered to him. He can go right up there with the best and steal the scene any day of the week. Any role he does is pure gold.
My parents loved this actor he is well known and admired all over the world . Greetings from Serbia!
The way Armand talks is just extremely sophisticated
Agreed and relatable not some kind of Hollywood phony.
I always thought he was so handsome.
@@sabrinashelton1997 perbert
@@cjhamm361 Excuse me?
The way he talks is extremely sophisticated? Please explain
Michael is a great interviewer because he actually lets the guests talk.
Only one suggestion - Don't interview people on velour lol.
Who's Jommy Fallon? never heard of her
Itâs not an interview itâs a sit down
Gotti is one of those movies that you can watch lots of times without getting bored. I love it.
And his gorgeous looks persist!!! This man, WOW!!! I've always been swept away by how handsome he is, and nothing's changed!!
Armand assante in the role of your father and chaz palmatary as Joe Colombo, in the series about your life would be awesome. đŻđ„
Watched Gotti after your recommendation, and after watching Travoltaâs poor attempt. Night and day. Armand stole the show and put Travolta to shame. Itâs also hard to believe Travolta as a tough guy since heâs such a princess in real life. Armand is a REAL mansâ man!
Travolta just had nothing to work with and he looks nor sounds nothing like Gotti. Travolta was from a working-class New Jersey family and you can clearly tell that in Saturday Night Fever. But he's become a suburban man since then.
Armand Assante: 'Writing is everything'. What a humble soul he is, given his masterful execution of the scripts.
When you give credit and share credit you realize that there is plenty to go around. If you hog it, you somehow get less...
Yes, humble but he also definitely knows that he cannot shine without good writing. That's why someone like Shakespeare is God's gift to actors.
Armand, had so many giftâs. His performances are by far incredible. He takes his craft so professionally, intriguing. He putâs his soul into his role. He played brilliantly as John Gotti. Awesome.
Armand is an extremely intelligent, philosophical & wise man. The youth should listen to his views rather than watching Tiktok videos all day.
Amen to that
Meh.
Tik Tok gals aint acting.
Its wonderful that Armand mentioned Robert Harmon's film The Hitcher. The guy has an insane eye for character, intrigue, and drama.
Yeah, think I saw that one as a kid, freaked my out. Wasnt it with the guy tied to the trucks?
It breaks my heart to see Armande down on his health, he is a beautiful actor
Armand is a gift to acting. He's in the same realm as Morgan Freeman and James spader. Anything I've seen of his has been spectacular.
Been waiting for this ,I buried my dad today and what a lift up
So sorry for your loss. God bless.
Sorry to hear that, Adam. I hope you had many good times with him. Take care and may he rest in peace.
God damn, Iâm sorry Adam. Bless you and your family.
Thanks so much everyone I appreciate that
@@michaelfranzese thank you Michael
Gotti is my favorite mob movie, most underrated movie in mob history, right behind godfather, Armand is an amazing actor..He plays John Gotti better than John Gotti!!! This was awesome thank you Michael.
AGREED!!!
@@michaelfranzese I just watched Gotti at your recommendation (and iâm currently watching Ray Donavon after you recommended it lol) youâre so right. What a great movie. You should check out Deadwood on HBO. Itâs a western but the main character was a real kingpin. He was a boss for sure.
How is Godfather underrated ? Lmao
People just love to say ,Underrated. Along with , litterally. Once Upon A Time In America , now there's an underrated movie
@@daveyboy_ So people over use âunderratedâ except when youâre doing it? đ Gotcha đ
Ever since watching him in Gotti. I was blown away by his performance. Heâs definitely a legend. Amazing man đ
Anthony Quinn PROUD MEXICAN ACTOR is another extremely underrated actor and delivered a brilliant performance
Definitely an underrated actor, Gotti has to be one of the best mob movies out there because of Armand. Sign him up Michael to your series, along with Vinny Pastore
@Jax Teller Why what would you call it if someone doesn't get the recognition they deserve?, wise ass
At this point Michael, you should have your own talk show! Youâd be brilliant!! âșïžđ
I agree. Michael lets his guest speak and is great at relating to them.
But he does!
Absolutely đŻ
First movie with Armand that I remember was Napoleon. I was hooked. Great actor!
âLife happens in secondsâ
- Armand Assante
His body language way of talking and carrying himself is truly pure magnetism
Armand comes off as a guy who lived the life guy fits the gangster part so well
Assante too
Michael you are the man, you donât just talk you make it happen!
Although no Sammy Gravano interview yet
@@paulswilley3737 Sammy doesn't Respect him!! Sammy may be a Killer but he's Great and a Great Story teller!! ( Soul)
He has the juice
@@paulswilley3737 đ
@@soulcontractor1641 get the feeling that Sammy is full of a lot of shit.
Armand is very underrated imo. I read the book Rage of Angel's when it came out. Armand was a perfect Michael Moretti.
I'm happy to see that someone else remembers him as Moretti in Rage of Angels. I honestly think of that movie every time I see Mr. Assante!!
In 1986, I saw an indie flic, Belizaire The Cajun, starring Armand, who I had never heard of, and was blown away by his power and charisma. Loved him in everything I've seen him in since. What a a great talent!
Can't wait for the second part, he's actually very well known here in Romania; if i am allowed to say, pretty underrated in US and that's sad, he's a brilliant actor, nailed every role, he's comparable to DeNiro, Pacino, Hanks and all them good actors whom brought us drama, joy and inspired us with their performances.
IMO better than Deniro. Equal to Tom Hanks.
Yeah California Dreaming absolutely fantastic movie
@@justalilcynical5558 De Niroâs current left wing lunacy renders a lot of his work unwatchable.
@@joeyc8622 De Niro ruined his own career, its his own fault,
I totally agree with you. Your observation regarding him being in the same category as Mr. Pacino and Mr. De Niro is accurate. Thanks for sharing. Be well.
Oh man, he mentioned the original The Hitcher movie with Rutger Hauer. That movie is AMAZING. The truck stop scene is one of the most intense brutal scenes in movie history.
Night hawks was great
Saw that movie in the 80's on a date lol
When Michael mentioned they were making a tv series on his life, Armand playing his father was literally the first thing that came to mind.
But idk if he would fit as Sonny. He's short, he gotta be a little bit taller. I also believe that Jon Berthtal would fit 100% as Sonny.
@@twinstar2566 Definitely John Berthal
"A peasant revolutionary" I love that. Mr Assante is a true artist
"I'm not thinkin', you're thinkin'. I'm eatin'! And he's goin'."
I would've come here with these two zips and you would go
"Negotiating wha-YOUR FUCKIN LIFE! For takin outta fuckin cokehead?"
Haha love that scene
Theyâre gonna miss John gotti
Assante: What do you about monopoly?
Denzel: You mean the game?
Assante: No. I just think monopoly have been made illegal in the country because nobody wants to compete
The epitome of a classy, gracious, humble person. Pays attention, stays on topic answering the questions , makes you feel as his equal which not too many people, let alone celebrities do today. So looking forward to part 2. Oh, and well spoken. We mustnât forget well spoken.
Armand is amazing. Great actor.
Smooth as silk. Cool as ice!
Great performance.
Armand could give Marlon Brando acting lessons.
Hugely underappreciated.
Armand is one of those actors that I can never remember their name, but I always remember their performances!
The Mambo King himself!!! Love all of his movies...God Bless Brother Michael.
Oh hell yea great movie.
Met William Forsythe who played Sammy the Bull at a comic con and all I talked about was this movie. It was cool to hear the experience from his perspective. Great movie.
He seems like a cool dude. He always plays bad ass roles.
"Anybody seen Richie?"
I remember watching The Odyssey when I was young and being blown away by the story, but Armand in particular. As a kid it captured my imagination and to this day, I love mythological stories. Anyways, he is a true talent. Thanks so much for keeping the quality content on your channel, Michael. Wishing you and your family the best!
Same đŻđŻ
Fantastic film đđ»
I liked it more than I had expected back then. Hope to see it again sometime.
Same here man. His performance in that movie was amazing also like
Him in judge dredd
Armand Assante's performance in Gotti is a 'Brando in Streetcar' performance, what I mean is while giving that performance he is fearless. Marlon Brando's performance as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire is the best performance in film history. The main reason that is so is because Brando's performance was fearless, from the way he eats the greasy chicken while talking to blanche and Stella to his forceful smashing the plates, he doesn't care what anyone else thinks he just does, that is a fearless and powerful performance, you don't see those types of performances very often even from great actors, they are very rare but when you see that type of fearless performance you know it, Paul Newman in The Hustler is another one, Armand Assante as Gotti is another one, a powerful and fearless performance, the way Gotti talks and says the lines of course he is a powerful mob boss but the way Assante delivers the lines is fearless, one scene comes to mind where he is walking and talking to Sammy the Bull and he puts up his fists like play fighting, it almost seems like it catches the other actor off guard, I always wondered if that was improvised by Assante, that's probably the first thing I would ask him if I ever talked to him , but that scene describes the entire fearless performance of Armand Assante as John Gotti Brando's Vito Corleone is known by everyone where Assantes Gotti is alot lesser known (surprisingly by anyone that saw it) In a way Armand Assante Gotti is just as good or even better then Brando's Vito Corleone (Brando's role was quite small compared to the whole Godfather film) of course Brando's Vito Corleone was powerful and one of cinemas best performances of all time, Assante gives closer to what Brando did in Streetcar then what Brando did in the Godfather but Vito Corleone is not Brando's best performance. Brando had multiple fearless and great performances but none on the level of Streetcar, In this interview Armand Assante mentions Brando at least twice, as a great actor himself he knows what Brando had and i'm sure tried to emulate it in ways in his performances, Anthony Quinn played Stanley Kowalski on the stage after Brando but also worked with Brando in the movie Viva Zapata!
Michaels two best interviews - Armand Assante and Chazz Palminteri are so well spoken and great actors, and have the intelligence to talk about many things, watching this interview I got the sense that what most of what Armand was saying was over Michael's head (as well as the rest of us) Michael is a mob guy who likes movies and mob movies and most of us are film buffs and mafia film buffs but Armand was speaking I think in what is mostly technical things actors would know about in perfecting their craft, like I said over most of our heads, but it shows how good of an actor and dedicated Armand Assante really is.
Amanda a great actor but never compete with Brando GODFATHER Best Mob Movie ever. Playing Vito Carleone man jst last night I was watching clips where they explained the Godfather trilogy in debt its best really
Gotti is a criminally under rated movie. Armand crushed that role
Its well loved and respected for a tv-movie
He became John never seen anything like it.
criminally is right, lol.
Way better then The Travolta Gotti 100 %
@@frankbernat740 oh he buried Travolta, no pun intended! He was also great in American Gangster for a small part, and I think he has more authenticity than DeNiro, Pacino and Pesci, who are the icons of movie gangsters.đđ»
One of the most undervalued actors of all times. Heâs just incredible.
Literally *Jus* commented this after only clicking on the video.. His name need to be mentioned with the greats, his tracc record is *flawless with his level of having you grasp whatever specific character he portrays*
U make it sound like he's jesus
@ How because he respects him and thinks he is a great actor you need to grow up troll. On here talking shit is your life that miserable and boring you watch a channel just to troll and talk shit that's sad
Literally said *âHis name Need To Be Mentioned With The Greats (Which he doesnât get mentioned no where near a âDenzelâ âTom hanksâ âSamuel Lâ a âWill Smithâ or even a âDeâNieoâ⊠you donât EVER hear his nameâŠ) when his acting/movie tracc record is Flawless, bc you grasp whichever Specific Character Heâs PORTRAYING In That Roleâ* âŠIf you DONT Agree with any specific thing, *Address it DIRECTLY, If Not, Shut The Fucc Up - Read & Keep it Movin To The Next Comment ThreadâŠ*
âŠ. & tbh argue with ya dead granny in her grave, since you wanna give off âpassive aggressiveâ disrespectđ„±
I definitely think these interviews work so well is because Michael Fransese has terrrific timing and genuine interest in the guest -- you could tell from 21:47 specifically that he is clearly interested in listening to Armand Assante describe his impression of Gotti. Just the subtle non-verbal communication imploring Arman to continue and never interrupting or oversharing his own experiences.
Would love to see more movie wise guys be interviewed. I think someone like Michael Madsen would be very approachable and have a lot to share about Donnie Brasco.
Madsen would be a great guest but...it wouldnt be mobrelated chitchat. What could Madsen say about Brasco? Oh,you mean the movie? Yeah but Micjael Fransese tends to have guests with experience and insight in that life and MM is a law abiding Citizen.
â@christofferjenzen78 Actually, a very very good point about Madsen.
This guy is mesmerizing on screen and in this interview. He ranks with Brando and the best of the very best that ever graced the silver screen.
You tell someone's a good guy when they talk about other people more than themselves.
I have seen the HBO Gotti move about 8 times. Damn good actors!
I watched Gotti with Armand on your recommendation, and boy it didn't disappoint. Thank you for that. It felt so real, you are left wanting to see more.
I can't think of more under-rated, under-appreciated actor than this brilliant man. I'm so glad he's receiving his due while he's still alive. Sure, he's been successful but, this man belongs with DeNiro, Pacino, Nicholson....he's that good and deserved THAT type of success and those types of roles.
I will never stop being mad at the fact that Armand Assante was never in more mob movies.
Gotti ( 1995 ) was by far the best mob movie ever. Great video as always.
It's absolute golden, up there with some other greats as well I would say.
Wow! What an honor it must be to be in the presence of such class and greatness..Iâm a huge movie buff and there is nobody that can play Gotti betterâŠit was so good I canât watch ANYONE play John Gotti anymore. May God bless this amazing man and thank you for all the great movies.
As a writer myself, itâs really wonderful to hear the respect that Armand has for writers. Thanks a lot for this, Michael. Canât wait for part two.
we're the genesis of these stories
Cool sitdown. His cadence of his speech reminds me of Christopher Walken a little bit.
Yeah man Joe dirt walken! đ€Ł nice catch
Great call
I thought the same thing!
That portrayal of the mob was one of the best I'd ever seen, Anthony Quinn also, holy Lord !!!
Quinn was monumental ...even as an old man he lost none of the power that he always had
Armand Assante was also good in the Jack the Ripper 2 part series (1988) starring Michael Caine definitely worth a watch probably the best on Jack the Ripper
Michael Caine
Michael Franzese is a true gentleman to let people speak like that. A very capable interviewer. Both men feel like a breath of fresh air!
I love Armand, I really enjoy listening to him talk. Heâs got such charisma, heâs really sharp, great stories. Thanks for this, I really appreciate how you let Armand talk and share his thoughts. Often interviewers take over - respect for not doing so!
Exactly, Michael listens-- a key component in being a great interviewer. Michael's podcasts bring much to our current world đ
The thing that really got me about this sit down was Mr Assante saying how you can go left or right and how that 1 choice can change your life forever. This transfers to every walk of life! So insightful!! Great job as always Michael! Good vibes from Philadelphia.
Love from CamdenâŠ.well I moved to LA but yeah lol good vibes good vibes
Camden New Jersey?
@@matthewschwartz6607 That's right
Look how God has blessed you, he's given you favor amongst other amazing things, I truly enjoy watching your channel đ
yes it has amazing content
What a great actor and a great interview Michael your a gentleman be lucky God bless đźđȘ
Its so crazy to imagine that these legends only differ two years in age
Such a talented actor..you never let us down Michael- Thank You
First time I saw Assante, was on the movie Judge Dredd, believe it or not.
There is a scene in that movie where he starts up a robot,and has a few lines.. the way he said those lines,always stayed with me for some reason....been an absolute fan ever since
Definitely one of the most gifted actors/communicators of all time.
I always loved him as Odysseus.
Every week Michael you deliver!!! Cannot get any better than this one!!
Armand is one of my favourite actors. There's a great movie called 'The Line' with Ray Liotta and Andy Garcia, terrific movie that seemed to slip under the radar. He plays the part of a priest, but so sinister and just a perfect portrayal of those that inhabit the world of the cartels.
An amazing actor and so much talent.Hes learned so much about acting and what goes into a good movie.Assante made a television series years ago and he was terrific but lve never seen it showed again.
You knew we wanted to hear Mr Assante and you sat back and let him express himself. Well done.
What an honour it is to listen to this interview! Armand Assante is absolutely underrated! Thank you Michael! Like and subscribe everyone!
I may have already commented but Michael Franzese is the only reason I know about the Gotti movie with Armand.
It may not have been 100 percent historically accurate but unlike Travolta's movie this was easier to follow. Everyone was well casted and everyone acted better than their counterparts especially Armand he played Gotti better than Gotti- for all we know Gotti wanted Armand play him in that movie. I enjoy listening to Armand and Michael together, I really hope they do more sit downs.
Love Armand heâs such a sweet humble man . Canât say enough about him
Michael always seemed to be Armand Assante's biggest fanboy when mentioning that Gotti movie haha, knew he'd end up in a sit-down one day! Cheers
He's a great actor, if you ever get a chance Mike, watch the Odyssey. Armand Assante played Odysseus, King of Ithaca, in that movie. He was great in that movie, it's the second part of the Illiad, the first part is Troy, Homer's greatest story
He forced it in multiple attractive women in that one. Vanessa Williams plays Calypso or something.
@@JK-br1mu She was in the movie, he was stuck on the island for 7 years.
I was going to say the same thing odyssey was one of my favourite mini series ever
This is the first long interview Iâve ever seen with Mr. Assante. The man is very humble and very brilliant. Thank you Michael for this interview!
One of my most favorite actors. awesome to see him here! Great insight to the process of acting.
I know Michael has been waiting a long time for this one!
He is in a better place
@@ngozimokwunye7944 Who??! đŁđ„”đ„¶đ„đąđ
Literally hard to picture anything but Gotti when Armand talks. Lol.
Your right lol
I think he sounds more like Gotti now, 25 years older than when he did the movie.
Man one thing that @Michael Franzese Is his interviewing skills are top notch!! I just love the fact that Michael lets the guest tell their story he doesn't try to talk over anyone I swear I've watched so many different CZcams interviews and Michael truly missed his calling lol, He just keeps getting better and better with every sit-down episode which is probably some of the best content out on CZcams right now! Keep up the good work Michael
Well Versed
Incredible Actor
Armand Assante
Rock On
The first time I saw this guy was in American gangster a long time ago. Before I knew much about the five families, and always thought he was a really cool character and actor. I also love the original gotti movie. Sometimes those small budget indie type movies about a subject such as the mob or other specific âworldsâ like that are often the best ones, especially for realism.
Waited a long time for this , so grateful Michael turned us on to Armand's Gotti movie its a hidden gem in the truest sense
I've watched this movie at least 400 times, Asante was just brilliant đ
đ€
Me too. It's addictive.
I actually first saw Armand Assante in a NCIS episode where he played "the frog" along most of the original NCIS cast during those years. I remember he outed Michael Weatherly character as Anthony Dinozzo and not who he said he was. Good times Great actor
Damn he draws you in when he speaks. His storytelling skills are just as good as his acting. Salute to this man, Thank you Michael for this epic sit down. Loved him in Gotti and American Gangster.
Aside from the mic position on Armand, this was a great sitdown. I've watched Gotti so many times. Brilliant movie with a brilliant actor playing the lead role.
GOTTI '96 with Armand my favorit mob movie ever ! Love from Romania! đ·đŽ
