Summary

I had a great conversation with Brooklyn born actor, Craig Thomas Rivela. We met up at the Bath Beach Diner in the Bath Beach section of Brooklyn to talk about things. I was a bit late to the party but I recently got turned onto the 8-part AMC Mini-Series "The Making Of The Mob: New York" from 2015 on Amazon Prime. Craig portrayed Mob boss Vito Genovese. That is the first time I've heard of him. The show was so well done that I started researching the actors. I hit him up and he was more than happy to come onto the podcast. Especially because, next week, on November 5th, his newest movie, "Bare Knuckle Brawler" gets released. The film also stars Martin Kove ("The Karate Kid I, II and III", "Rambo: First Blood Part II", "Wyatt Earp" and a ton more) and the iconic Danny Trejo. ("Machete", "Heat", "Anaconda", "Blood In, Blood Out" and a ton more as well) It turns out we have similar mutual friends and was actually in a hardcore band. Who knew. I hope you enjoy this. Thanks as always for the continued support.
