    “Renaissance man, Jack O’Halloran-prizefighter, actor, and now author-has written a shocking and fast-paced novel of Mafia intrigue. This book is packed with all the twists and turns of a carnival ride.” - DAN E. MOLDE a, best-selling author and true crime reporter
    Jack Pagano has always felt he is different. Smart and physically talented, the normal pursuits of youth-women and sports-have always come a little too easy to him and left him unfilled. At age seventeen, Jack is eager to leave high school and begin his college career.
    But the schooling that lies ahead of him is of a far different variety than he could have ever imagined.
    Albert Anastasia, the notorious leader of Murder, Inc., appears and claims Pagano as his son. But before Jack can make heads or tails of his newfound father, Anastasia is gunned down at the Park Sheraton Hotel.
    Under the tutelage of his late father’s associates, Meyer Lansky and Frank Costello, Jack enters a world where crime and politics, money and murder, and the American way of life are all but a hand’s breadth apart and inextricably linked.
    At the same time, another father is grooming his son to further his plans: Joseph Kennedy, the patriarch of what will become America’s ruling dynasty, has set his sights on the White House-and with the help of some old friends in Chicago, his son, also Jack, will rise to power.
    Jack O'Halloran (born April 8, 1943) is an American actor and former boxer. O'Halloran fought in 57 professional boxing matches (including fights with future heavyweight champions George Foreman and Ken Norton), but he is best known for acting in such films as Farewell My Lovely, King Kong, Superman, Superman II, Dagon: Troll World Chronicles and Dragnet.
    He lived in Runnemede, New Jersey. Fighting as "Irish" Jack O'Halloran from Boston, he was a heavyweight boxing contender active from 1966 to 1974. The 6'6" O'Halloran was undefeated in his first 16 professional fights.
    He acquired other roles as tough henchmen which culminated in the role he is best known for, Non, the menacing but mute member of the trio of Kryptonian supervillains banished to the Phantom Zone by Jor-El (Marlon Brando) in Superman (1978) and inadvertently released by Superman in Superman II (1980).
    In 2010, O'Halloran released Family Legacy. The book outlines O'Halloran's relationship with his alleged father, boss of the Gambino crime family, Albert Anastasia.

    Jack O'Halloran was a great talent he looked different in all of his roles. My favorite is Max in Baltimore Bullet.
    Anyway, I think Brando is one of the greatest actors of all time but he was not worth $4M. They could have gotten many other accomplished actors for a fraction. Why not the stately Christopher Lee, Oliver Reed or Clint Walker to play Jor-El?
    It's hilarious that Jack knows everything about everyone and has inside info and detailed files 😂😂
    He's a compelling storyteller and I don't care if it's BS

      Hi Zombie, I think the motivation with getting Brando, was that the Salkinds pre-sold the movie for distribution internationally before it was made, and having Brando (after the Godfather’s success), meant a bonafide star would “carry” the picture instead of an unknown. Brando, along with Gene Hackman, would make investors feel confident in putting money into the project. And it worked. They raised so many millions, giving Brando a few million was just pampering the golden goose. I was a kid at the time, so I have no idea. Lol
      Jack is definitely a character and a tough guy. He says exactly what he thinks and means. He doesn’t give a f(ugh)…a care about what anybody thinks. He’s got stories that involve some of the biggest stars, powerful people and athletes. He’s boxed some of the greatest boxers of all time. You may dispute his claims, but after talking with him for hours, I’m not gonna…haha…Thanks for watching!

    Yeah I remember having more empathy for Jack Nicholson’s Joker than for Michael Keaton’s Batman back in 1989.
