Good interview with most likely one of the biggest intellectuals among artists.
Open, sincere, non-pretentious, educated, experienced willing to share personal thoughts.
It is almost like a life master class to watch and hear A. Assante.
Great job.
Brilliantly put. His role in Gotti was unbelievable. From interviews & footage I have seen of Gotti , AA got everything spot on.
I was impressed with Mr.Assante in every way but could not stand Pete.He used the F word continually, I found him loud and totally obnoxious.
@@patriciagoh5 funny you say that. He seems to have a chip on his shoulder. “A boy from Brooklyn- look at me now”
@@patriciagoh5 Also the setup is horrible. They should be face to face, or at least some angle. AA keeps having to search for eye contact, which is sometimes relevant in a conversation.
Terrible interviewer, Asante is legit though
Hollywood missed the boat big time with this guy, his acting skills are right up there with De Niro, Pesci, and Pacino!
facts
@Ibn Khairuddeen Yes, tragically underused. I fell in love with his voice/acting when I first saw him in Sylvester Stallone's "PARADISE ALLEY", a forgotten gem written by Sly. Shalom Aleichem!! Salaam Alaikum:)
facts.
DeNiro's a punk!
I'm glad they did and I'm glad he did too! Everybody ain't trying to sell out!
The most underrated wise guy actor there is.
Agree.
Armand was outstanding as Gotti. Captured his persona without doing a impersonation
Facts!
Hands down, thought it was John Gotti himself when I’d look away from the tv
Gotti part 2 just announced
I always hoped Armande would have a cameo in the sopranos. He is definitely one of the best mafia actors ever. He nailed Gotti in every way.
He would have been real good. He had to be a mafia boss tho
He could have been someone like the boss who brokered the warehouse meeting in one of the ending episodes, or "mangano and teresi" the FBI mentions to Junior in the first season
He would of been a serious guy in Sopranos
one of the most underrated actors of all time. That GOTTI movie Assante deserve an Oscar regardless of being HBO movie.
agree
Oscar worthy no doubt
Hands down the best portrayal of John Gotti that will ever happen.
Dude you sat down with a REAL living legend...
Mambo kings one his best ever he kilt it!!🕺🏽
HBO'$ Gotti Armand Asante should've won every award @ every academy with that performance. Franzese been giving him his props lately and that is my favorite mobster movie of all time✊🏽💪🏽😎
Armand Asante is truly an artist.
His towering performance as John Gotti is incomparable.
The HBO film Gotti is one of the few films I can watch over and over. Armand is such an underrated actor, as is Anthony Quinn. Much respect for Armand, he's an intelligent and humble guy.
Facts best one ever made, and real gangsters said it was authentic. Great actor. Anthony Quinn, need I say more
True
Where can I find that Gotti movie at please?
@@Hanover-ek4jy you can see it on UA-cam. Just type in gotti HBO they have the whole movie. Great movie trust me u will love it.
So true and the HBO mike tyson movie was pretty good too
GOTTI IS NOT EVEN ON HBO MAX WHICH IS SAD. IT'S UP THEIR WITH GOODFELLAS
Good quality of the movie right on UA-cam
Yup I had to buy it on dvd on Amazon last year because I really wanted to watch it again
It’s an HBO film too right?
@@jfuentss yep
It’s actually free on UA-cam unedited. Can’t get it anywhere else ironically.
I’ve watched it many times on here. Just type Gotti full movie & it comes right up.
Asante, Forsythe & Quinn killed those roles
Quinn was fucking terrifying and badass as Neil Dellacroce.
Michael Franzese says this was one of his all time favorite mob movies. And Franzese should know. He was once a Capo Regime in the Columbo Family. He knew Gotti.
It's why I finally came to watch the movie, Michael is so right! Xx
Franzese will soon interview him!
Neil Dellacroce : I've been negotiating all night.
John Gotti : [to his crew] Just take a walk, all right?
[to Niel]
John Gotti : Negotiatin' what?
Neil Dellacroce : Your fuckin' life!
John Gotti : For takin' out a fuckin' coke head?
Neil Dellacroce : Be quiet! Sit down. I said, sit down! You know, I've clipped a lot of guys in my life. Close friends. Guys I didn't know. I didn't always agree that the guy should be clipped. But I never questioned the orders and I never went off half-cocked and clipped somebody I wasn't supposed to!
John Gotti : Niel
Neil Dellacroce : Now, you shut up! You just listen. Big Paul went down to Don Carlo for permission to have you whacked. It came this close. I told Don Carlo you were like a son to me. That touched the old man. He told Paul to give you a pass. But if Don Carlo had said you gotta go, I would've come here today with these two zips and you would go. John, you cannot whack a made man on somebody else's crew! There are rules! You break the rules, and this whole goddamn thing of ours cracks and crumbles! You never break the rules. Capiche?
John Gotti : Capiche.
Neil Dellacroce : Let's drink to that. Wipe your face John. You're sweating up a hundred dollar shirt. Don Carlo says you'll do some time. But he's gonna take care of your family. Here. La familia, and the rules that hold us together.
John Gotti : La familia... And the rules that hold us together.
And the rules .. that hold us together . What a truly spectacular film , down to every little detail .
"Yea he's gone. And that fuck Castellano never even come say goodbye"
I'm supposed to get an ok while my family is starvin'? Hey fuk Paul, he deserved it !
That scene with Anthony Quinn and the 'Zips' is one of the greatest mob movie scenes ever. You believe it when Quinn says that if 'Don Carlo had said you should go, I would have come here with these 2 zips, and you'd go'.
“Negotiating what?! Your fuckin’ life!”
Definitely one of the most underrated mob flicks. Victoria Gotti herself even commended Assante’s incredible portrayal of her father.
@@vievealasvegas1 Agreed. Assante was absolutely perfect for that role. I love the opening scene with the story about 'JoJo'.
A la famiglia... and the rules that hold us together!
@@omarhb best part was the toast when Neil didn't drink until John finished the toast
Shit,i thought he was talking to ME..its was so real!!
Armand Assente was outstanding in the film Q&A with Nick Nolte. Man had less screen time but completely stole the show.
''There are no rules , there're no parameters , no feelings , there're no feelings ''
That Gotti film was absolutely out of this world . Especially if you know about the actual story it makes it so much better . I'm 18 none of my friends or people around me in general are into the italian-american mob and that era so I have no one to talk to about that stuff but it's so fascinating . Every little detail in that film is so well done it's crazy to me . And after watching this interview I gained so much respect for Armand Assante as a person as well , besides the ridiculously good actor that he is . Also crazy I randomly rewatched Gotti the day this interview was premiering without knowing it , 4 days later I click on this title , thank you so much Pete for doing this , hope you have more of these in the future .
One of my favorites films is "The Oyssey" (1997), and him is so amazing and fabulous in this movie. When I think in the king Odysseus, my mind remember him, Armand Assante 😁. He is a great, gorgeous and awesome actor! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great call Rodrigo! That's the first thing I think of when I hear the name Armand Assante. He was magnificent as Odysseus in the NBC tv miniseries 'The Odyssey'.
just seen it and was blown away and it brought me here
The world needs more people like Mr.Assante. A man's, man and a true gentleman not too mention an absolute phenomenal artist. Gotti was indeed a great cinematic gangster masterpiece. I've been a fan of his work for over 30 yrs, the thing that really resonates with me is how humble and classy he truly is in real life. Keep up the great work and The Premium Pete Show is one of the greatest shows here on UA-cam.
🙏God Bless🙏☘ 👍😎👍🥂
My friends and I were around 20-21 years old when Gotti came out. I can't tell you how obsessed we were with that movie. It was up there with Godfather and Scarface for us... seen it a hundred times
Bro, it’s on UA-cam and great quality. I see it once every inter week!
Hollywood is all about connections and it’s a small group of network. Been like that since 1930s n before.
"A Cosa Nostra Boss don't belong on the cover of TIME magazine" Duck John, Learn to duck sometimes..."
This man is an absolute national treasure. Still looking great
Every movie he's in is better because he is in it.
HBO Gotti is one of the greatest films of all time! Hats off to the one and only Armand Assante 🎩 and shouts to Pete!
My top 3 Assante performances, Mambo Kings, Q&A and Gotti. As far as i'm concerned, Mr Assante is up there with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Its a damn shame he's never shared the screen with them.
And kids, if you're loving parody comedies like "Airplane", "Hot Shots" "Naked Gun" and "Loaded Weapon", you should check out Armand Assante in "Fatal Instinct"!!!
I love this and even more love to debate with you! 😁🤣😂❤ Armande Assante has been one of my favorites for so so many years! He is a classic actor...like Anthony Quinn, like Deniro or Pacino. Thank you for bringing him to your show and sharing his lifetime story ❤what a gift 🎁
Gotti is a TOP5 Mafia movie ever. The opening/closing sequence is a master class in writing and acting.
The Odyssey (1999) Mambo Kings,Gotti
Napoleon and Josephine a love story. Those are my favorite movies and series that Armand Asante did.
Pete did this interview in a Mafia style lounge. A back room. All they missing is the Goomas
lmaoooooooooSALUD!
Couple Goomas? Why not
I think you mean goomBA...
Bada bing!!
A huge Assante fan ever since I, the jury. One of the most underrated actors ever. And one of the best alive. Thanks 4 the interview. To both of you. Precious!
Assante is a great actor love him over the years ... I agree with him 100% about Anthony Quinn very underrated actor.
When sitting on the same side of the table doesn’t make things awkward enough by all means, PLEASE, touch the guest 1-200 times........... that will definitely help
Judge Rico!!!
Fantastic interview Pete. I’ve said it forever, Gotti with Armand is still phenomenal. I have it on my iPad and have seen it at least 10 times. I never knew it was filmed in Toronto.
Me either I never would’ve thought Toronto
Armand is one of the greats. Most realistic mob movie ever made. Excellent writing, casting and performances.
If they have to remake Gotti which we know they did. No one will do a better job than Armand
Armand Assante is one of the most if not the most underrated Actor in the past 4 decades, and I mean that in the most respectful way toward him. The performance he put on in Gotti - like Pete said his mannerisms, his flair and dramatics - I don't believe John Gotti could play himself as good as Armand did. A true living legend amongst us, his performances are just outstanding, I would put him up against any actor role for role, this man is just the definition of what a real actor should emulate. God Bless and all the best energy to Armand, Pete and he rest of the crew amazing interview as well.
GOTTI HBO , the best gangster flick ever made in my opinion salute to Mr Asante and Premium Pete 👊🏼💯
Mr. Assante, congrats on a stellar career. I have followed his career even from "Little Darlings" to "Mambo Kings". I think he is one of the most underrated and overlooked talents in film. Definitely a gem in the industry.
Best Gotti flick hands down
Am I the only one that hears a little bit of Christopher walken in Armand’s voice
Armand Assante, Love him, seen almost all his movies.😍😍😍
Armand was brilliant in Gotti. But my favorite performance from Armand was when he played Odysseus in the NBC tv miniseries 'The Odyssey' back in the mid to late 1990's.
ARMAND ASSANTE is great -loved him in the odyssey
The GOATS!
Hey Pete, he won an Emmy for Gotti ! He was nominated for Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild. You said he was nominated for Emmy.
True story
In 1996 when Gotti came out I was 17 years old and already a film buff since even before age ten when I started my movie collection (back then they were on VHS tapes) I was also big time into mafia movies. When Gotti came out on tape I went to the rental store to rent it but this was before blockbuster and the rental stores only had one copy, someone rented that one copy and never returned it lol. I remember wanting to see it so bad, Eventually I rented it at a different store and was blown away by this movie, it definitely went up there in my top 5 mob movies of all time, The Godfather 1-2, Goodfellas, Casino, Gotti. When I Re-watched Gotti again when I was older (I have the DVD in my mafia movies collection) by the way you said no one has anywhere to see this movie, I guess nowadays everyone thinks streaming is the only way to watch a movie, you can simply go to amazon and by the DVD, they have the movie with the subtitle - Gotti: The Rise and Fall of a Real Life Mafia Don. When I watched this movie as an adult I was blown away again not only by the movie but by Armand Assante's fearless performance, This was a small movie made for HBO not a big budget movie but Armand Assante's performance is one of the best performances of all time as john Gotti and the thing is alot of people don't even know it exists, Armand Assante gives a fearless performance very similar to Marlon Brando's performance in A Streetcar Named Desire which is the best performance in film history, Brando is 100% fearless, he doesn't care about anyone or anything in that performance and that is power. It's insane to watch and very rare to see, even great actors sometimes don't give a performance like that their whole career, of course Brando did it about 4 times, maybe more but never like he did in Streetcar, well Armand Assante gives what is reminiscent of Brando's fearless performance, the character doesn't have a care in the world, he is so powerful he does what he wants, that is a treat to see from an actor and that's when you know an actor has talent, of course its so rare I don't think it was ever duplicated from Assante, but the whole cast fit together like a puzzle piece, when I watch the real Sammy the bulls UA-cam videos I don't even think of him as Sammy the bull I think of William Forsythe, these actors were so good I think they played Gotti and Sammy better then they could have play themselves, Anthony Quinn worked with Brando in Viva Zapata! as for the Travolta Gotti movie, there is other Gotti movies made, I realize Armand Assantes Gotti is the premier Gotti movie so I didn't mind another Gotti movie but the Travolta movie was horrible, the only decent thing was Travolta himself as Gotti, he gave a decent performance but if you compare it to Armand Assante's performance as Gotti Travolta's is gonna look second rate.
Great actor ... Armand Assante's portrayals as Mike Hammer in 'I the Jury' and Odysseus in 'The Odyssey' are personal favourites ...
What a class act, Armand and Pete
travolta movie was a bomb the hbo version would have actually made money at the box office
I watched a interview with Michael Franseze and Joe Pistone, a lot of people compliment Franseze on not interrupting Pistone even though it’s easy to on Zoom.
Premium Pete is terrible for interrupting people, and this is in person
Yes, Franseze doesn't interrupt! I love that about his interviews. Class.
Wish Pete would have let Assante finish his thoughts.
One of my favorite actors ..terrific in everything he does..beside Gotti The Q and A he’s dynamite in...
The dude was great in American Gangster as well.
When you spend your money to view actors --this man is is a 10. Thank you
What a great, great actor. A damn shame we don't see more of him on the bigscreen. Respect from Downunder in Australia. 👌
"The gay who played Neil Dellacroce ... whats his name..." ?!?!?!?! Are you serious ?!?!?!?! 😄😄😄
This man is a Legend! Great actor!
FUCKIN AMAZING ACTOR. SPECIFICALLY ANYYYY MOB GUY ROLL. OMG THE GOTTI MOVIE HE DID WAS IT!!!!! I mean there can never be a better gotti roll. Billion percent.
His performance in Gotti was in the same level with Al Pacino's in Donnie Brasco. It's a shame Martin Scorsese never offered him a role in one of his Mob movies, he would be great.
Armand, you are an amazing talent! Very underrated. My favorites were the Mambo Kings and Evergreen, which I can't find anywhere!! You totally embody your characters and immediately draw us into the story. You are humble, generous to others and worthy of respect.
Armand Assante is from my neighborhood. Washington heights. I love him even more now. Ny, Ny.
Wow! This interviewer missed a golden opportunity to follow up on Gotti, the REAL GOTTI, having this man's picture hanging up in a restaurant. There is SO MUCH there. Dude skipped right by that. Terrible.
Fantastic interview with an amazing actor. Thank you
His performance of Gotti was absolutely amazing! Blows that travolta effort out the park!
That really helped me through the rough times we are having, this Gave me hope. God bless everyone going through addiction pills whatever it might be, We WILL GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER ❤️
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love Armand Assante"s way of seeing things in a positive way. It's very inspiring....you rock!!!
Wow amazing guest. ✌🏼Salute 🇮🇹👍🏼🙌🏼
Wow! I’ve randomly stumbled on this interview. I must admit, I did not expect this to be as informative and powerful as it is. I mean this is by far one of the best interviews I’ve ever watched in my life. This man is such a brilliant and rare talent. I truly feel inspired to continue to better my position in life. Thank you guys for allowing me to be blessed with this gentleman’s knowledge and will to succeed in life. The story about his mother was also one of the most inspiring stories you will ever hear. Make the world a better place then when you were initially put here. Along the way, make memories and conquer this journey called life. One love guys!!💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Armand Assante is a true LEGEND! All of his roles, and different characters were extremely accurate and realistic. Felt like watching the real person/character and not an actors portrayal of a character. Truly gifted wonderful human being we are lucky to have in this world, & our lifetime. God Bless him and his family & happy holidays everyone 🙏
You see Armands Gotti and that shit show Travolta's its like McDonalds and McDowels
he was so good as Odysseus
What a great guy. When he said Anthony Quinn is a very underrestemated actor I thought you are as well..and yes nobody could have played Gotti like him. Humble and intelligent man, great to hear him speak about life. Thanks for this interview!
Best Gotti ever! Armand Assante is real gentlemen had opportunity to meet him in Queens at Parkside restaurant.. A little disappointed in his hair though Lol.. C'mon Armand get the Aquanet going on.. 🤣 He's a legend.
I could’ve worked for UPfuckingS and made more fuckin money!
(Armand Assante) "Do you see, you gods of sea and sky? I conquered Troy. Me Odysseus, a mortal man of flesh and blood and bone and mind. I do not need you now, I can do anything."
This man is one of my favorite actors. He is so sharp and articulate. He stayed low key...he wasn’t in our face 24/7
He is more Gotti than Gotti himself, the Gotti of John Travolta was a travesty.Not worth watching. Armand Assante is a very underrated actor.Wonderful to see him, not sure how he is in real life, nice or jerk.
Since I was a kid in the 80s I loved this guy.couldnt understand why he didn't get the roles.he is incredibly talented. Still looks hot too.
Asante was the best actor in his prime should have had more roles. He killed that role in gotti. That was the best performance ive seen ever. Legendary podcast!
Thank God this isn't a "DJ Vlad" interview.
Legendary actor! thanks for taking the time to meet and interview him! god bless!
I watch the hbo gotti once a week ..this guy is a living legend..next to deniro and pacino 💯💯
Loved this interview! One of the things I learned from watching movies has been the importance of the writing. The acting is the cherry on the cake. I was facinated by all the actors in "Q &A" . The acting og Assand and Nick Nolte and the writing as well. And yes..
its true all the things one absorbs and comes away with being from a mecca city like New York. Thank you.
One of the best movies ever he took the role of John Gotti to the T, not mention when he played as a mob boss in American Gangster.. Absolutely fantastic interview. ♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️
I'm gonna get chewed out for saying this but he was good in judge dredd
He sure was! Blue eyes and all!
Amazing interview with the legend! Armand is amazing! 🎥🎬
Straight gold
He'll always be Odysseus for me😍😍😍😍
I agree this guy played an amazing Gotti!!
Assante’s portrayal of John Gotti is one of the best performances of all time.
Yeah Gotti was great but you should see him play Odysseus in The Odyssey
Great mob film it surprised me Armand Assante did a top shelf job.
Also cameos in American Gangster and Hoffa.
Best actor Gotti the best movie q and a awesome movie Mambo Kings and you can go on
He was also good in hoffa playing along side Jack Nicholson.
The legendary Armand Asante, the best Gotti out there. Salute salute!! Cent’Anni
He was in the judge Dredd film with stalone, he stole the show!!
Armand has a weird accent lol but its original
