Yesterday, I read this in
an article in Sunday's
NY Daily News:
Lillo Brancato looked destined for great things.
Picked off a crowded Jones Beach by talent scouts who spotted the 15-year-old's natural tough-gangster looks, the Yonkers schoolboy was suddenly acting alongside his idol Robert De Niro.
But Steven Armento, his alleged partner in yesterday's break-in and the man who cops say fired the shot that killed Officer Daniel Enchautegui, was simply a career criminal.
Then last night I turn on the t.v. and what do I see on RTE2, but the
Bronx Tale, the movie that was Lillo Brancato's big break. I guess it's not that weird, but I had forgotten all about the movie until I saw that article yesterday and then, there it was on RTE last night.
