162. Gianni Russo of 'The Godfather'

Dan has a rollicking conversation with the great Gianni Russo, best known for playing Carlo Rizzi in "The Godfather," which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Gianni talks about everything — his relationship to organized crime, his disdain for James Can, killing a pedophile when he was 11 years old and, of course, his love of wine. Our host has dubbed this interview an instant classic. Not to be missed. Also on the show, our favorite wine expert Claire Coppi of SommTV shares some big news, and friend of the show, Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh, offers his thoughts on Francis Ford Coppola's mafia masterpiece.
