He also shared personal stories about stepping away from Hollywood during difficult family circumstances, reconnecting with his Christian faith, and eventually finding a new path through local politics and public service.The conversation also dived into Massoglia’s role as Pat Boone in the Reagan Movie, including the surreal experience of portraying Boone while sitting beside the real Pat Boone on set. Along the way, he discussed working with Dennis Quaid, preparing for the role through archival footage and personal conversations, balancing acting with city council responsibilities, and his hopes for the future both in film and public life.Own your copy of the REAGAN Movie now on DVD, Blu-Ray, Amazon and Apple TV.Blu-Ray / DVD: https://a.co/d/02Y2zt5vAmazon Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0DMTJMRWY/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rApple TV: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/reagan/umc.cmc.6yum5f9xp7nawka60vvtjh68uREAGAN: The Director’s Cut in theaters on September 25th.Check out producer Mark Joseph’s book Making REAGAN, out now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart.Amazon: https://a.co/d/09Rh66XLBarnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/making-reagan-mark-joseph/1147150440?ean=9798330201822Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Making-REAGAN-A-Memoir-from-the-Producer-of-the-REAGAN-Movie-Hardcover-9798330201822/15610673227?classType=REGULAR&from=%2Fsearch&sid=eb7a975c-01fc-4fc0-8511-6abe8d336d8cListen to REAGAN: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, REAGAN: Songs Inspired By The Film, and REAGAN: Original Motion Picture Score, available now to purchase and stream on all major music platforms.Songs Inspired By The Film: https://curbrecords.ffm.to/reaganinspiredbyOriginal Motion Picture Soundtrack: https://curbrecords.ffm.to/reaganOriginal Motion Picture Score:Amazon Music: https://amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DN78RPQ8?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_ZhsFL12QR0RNZKIkrnd45259NApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reagan-original-motion-picture-score/1780022720Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7hOEFiaWsWm0LOU0WG9W3f?si=HGZRMCDaT0iOIPLI5ikO4ASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
