His role as, The late John Gotti, will never be duplicated, By any other Actor, Even John Travolta's Attempt to Portray the Role, sorry, I must add, that Actor William Forsythe, Also Portraying Sammy The Bull Gravano, In that HBO Movie, Will never be duplicated ever again Also.Period,Just a Great piece of Acting Work, Done by two, Great Professionals, In their Trade. Etc.
@White Boy Why? I said I was wondering. Well he sucked, just like everybody and everything in that movie. Makes me appreciate the '96 version even more..
"Your crime is that you tried to steal my world. The world I built with my hands and my sweat and my blood. The world I shared with a woman, who bore me my son, and no-one will ever take that from me. Now you will die to a man in a river of blood." Chills, every time.
I am in love with him I guess forever. Attractive man, amazing retro voice, increadible actor, very clever human being. He stole my heart back then in 80s with "Napoleon And Josephine ", "Passion And Paradise ", and later, of cause in "Odysseus". He was great in "Mambo Kings", "Gotti", "The Marring Man", "Rage Of Angels" (omg), "Private Benjamin ". He is so real, so high spirited , so intelligent. I think he deserves more fame then he got. He us not worse then De Niro , probably better.
Love everything about Assante! He is gorgeous looking man with unique mesmerizing voice, great manners, talented actor, simply the best. Thank you Assante for existing and making films worth watching. ❤
One of the most overlooked actors. Brilliant in anything he ever did. His job playing John Gotti was flawless. Met him in Manhattan many years ago and he was a real gentleman. Polite and very kind.
if John gotti saw John Travolta performance as John gotti he would roll over in he's grave but Armand assante portrayal as gotti would make John gotti proud Armand assante is such underrated actor
@@MyREDTAIL ....John Gotti did indeed see Assante's portrayal. Victoria Gotti informed Assante in person.....that the Gotti family loved his portrayal.
I was very impressed with Mr. Assante's views. I have a similar background and understand the importance of educating our children. He is a great actor and man of strong, good character.
I haven't seen Travolta's version. Armand Assante totally owned the character Gotti. He was great in Odyssey and Napoleon and Josephine. A very sly and masterful great actor. Wish more men was like Armand Assante, very worldly,cultured and mysterious gentleman❣
I first noticed him in little darlings but fell in love with him as napoleon 😍 he was so compelling and wonderful in that miniseries - with his italian background its only fitting that he portray the corsican napoleon
Michael Franceze said Armand's portrayal of Gotti was better than the real Gotti. I consider Armand's performance in that movie as one of the best acting performances in any movie I've ever seen.
He has actually, low-key, been one of my favorite actors since the 90s. I am just now truly coming to appreciate this fact. His roles have always been iconic to me, and he has shone in every single movie I have seen him in. I remember watching the Odyssey when it first came out and appreciating Odysseus through his acting.
in his younger days.............he was so attractive ...dont take my word for it...look at him in MAMBO KINGS....OMG....I thought he was the most attractive man in film..especially in that wonderful movie! Love your work Mr. Assante.!
Armand Assante is indeed an Extraordinary Actor of Exceptional Skills. He has Proven time and time again, to be More than 1 Dimensional. Yet still be very Believable in Every Single Role that He Plays. Now that takes Ability period! Furthermore in this very informative interview, depicts that the man not only has a way with words, but also appreciates & Values The Writing Process Necessary in order to Achieve Greatness on Screen in order to give A Lasting Performance that stays with the audience
Gorgeous man ! A fine actor leaving His audience with memorable performances. I WILL be following more of his movie career. A very personal intensity in his deliverance of studied and diligent acting. Enjoyed the piece. Hope to see new movies soon ! His 'presence' is large. understand he wears shoe lifts. I DO, and would still look UP to him! :)
I remember seeing him in The Odyssey when I was in middle school I can't really remember it but I love to see it again and he play Detective Nick Amaro's abusive father on Law and Order SVU season 16 episode called "Padre Sandunguero". He was also in Prophecy 1979 about a giant mutated grizzly bear he plays a native american.
MyREDTAIL I did that comment 4years ago.i came today to see if he responded to me.but nothing.i have faith in GOD that one day,i will meet him and I will present myself to him as assante.
His voice is amazing. What is that accent? Is it a mix? Or without sounding nasty, has he been affected by a stroke like sylvester stallone? He sounds amazing anyway
Armand plays a greedy corrupt tycoon business guy in Shark Swarm 2008 a guy you love to hate and cheer when gets killed by the sharks and he plays so good.
Robert deniro sucks now Armand assante should have gotten over faster such a great actor so underrated in my personal opinion I'm want to be an actor im taking beginning scene study next Monday Armand assante in gotti his my new hero as an actor thanks assante I love u
His young Brazilian model girlfriend ripped off Josh Brolin’s credit card for $40,000, and shoplifted from Saks Fifth Avenue. WHILE she was dating Assant in 2014.
Armand Assante aka John Gotti. John Travolta is trash compared with Armand .. but this is fucking Hollywood.. some Hollywood mafia shit .. so sad that Armand is so underrated:(
His portrayal of Gotti was perfect.
Agreed!!! I wonder how Travolta will do this year..
I have a feeling he will be pretty good because he is working so closely with Junior.
GunCollector007
Yeah, he even asked Victoria sr if he could lay in their bed, she said he could, as long as she didn't have to lay with him LOL

Such an underrated actor. In my opinion, he did amazing in The Odyssey.
That has to be my favorite movie with Armand Assante
"Your crime is that you tried to steal my world. The world I built with my hands and my sweat and my blood. The world I shared with a woman, who bore me my son, and no-one will ever take that from me. Now you will die to a man in a river of blood." Chills, every time.
without a doubt this fella is very very very underrated as an actor, Oscar material without a question.
Love this guy! Sucks that he never became as big as deniro! He deserves it
A great New Yorker, He is also, He has the Class 7 Professionalism, that DeNero Lacks, Period.
I totally agree
THE-ALBANIAN-GUY That's because, unfortunately, Assante has an ethnic look, whereas DeNiro looks more Anglo-saxon".
The hell are you talking about. Thats Judge Reico
He did not kiss the hollywood ass that is why He is far better than deniro
I absolutely loved him in "Gotti". Wonderful realistic performance.
It's one DVD ,That I always watch, Never get tired of it.
Ardiva Chambers John Travolta sucked Tom size more sucked Armand assante will forever be John gotti he was also good in mambo Kings
I am in love with him I guess forever. Attractive man, amazing retro voice, increadible actor, very clever human being.

this guys voice is incredible.

My favorite actor of all time , a man full of dignity
nobody can top playing John Gotti like he did
If The Late John Gotti, Could of saw Assante's Portrayl of him, I think he would of loved it also. Etc.
if John gotti saw John Travolta performance as John gotti he would roll over in he's grave but Armand assante portrayal as gotti would make John gotti proud Armand assante is such underrated actor
@@MyREDTAIL ....John Gotti did indeed see Assante's portrayal. Victoria Gotti informed Assante in person.....that the Gotti family loved his portrayal.
Jeff Trovolter did it!!!!!!
tom sizemore did a decent job playing gotti, but he doesnt come close to playing as good armand assante did.
an underrated actor. he was great as Odysseus
Timothy Kalamaros I totally agree Armand assante is the greatest actor around u got total class
This Ram 🐏 is not for you
A gem of an actor. Underused and underrated.
he's such an inspiration for artists....I am so glad he talks so passionately about the creative process
But the point is, this man is a very underrated and underappreciated actor who deserves the recognition of say Al Pacino or Robert De Niro.
This guy has one of the most epic voices ever! Up there with Patrick Stewart, Morgan Freeman, Chris Walken & James Earl Jones.
Every American actor who has Italian roots, speaks with an accent..and it is so lovely...
@@sanjamatsuri His accent is so distinct that you know who’s speaking when you heard the voice.
I love his voice :)
Mambo king's , he is brilliant !
Amazing man.. Great actor. Truly smart and educated. All the best Armand..
I was very impressed with Mr. Assante's views. I have a similar background and understand the importance of educating our children. He is a great actor and man of strong, good character.
and eloquent as well.
He played Gotti to a T. 💯🇮🇹👌🍷
The best Napoleon!
Wow, how open & deep is this man. He is very nice with his praise for others. The respect for his craft. Shows all sides of an intelligent man.
And a great New Yorker he is, Proud to say etc.
I haven't seen Travolta's version. Armand Assante totally owned the character Gotti. He was great in Odyssey and Napoleon and Josephine. A very sly and masterful great actor. Wish more men was like Armand Assante, very worldly,cultured and mysterious gentleman❣
Great Actor very under rated... plus a gentleman..Bravo..
Love Armand Assante. Great actor!! Wonderful interview. ❤️
One of the greatest actors ever. Unfortgettable as Napoleon.
I first noticed him in little darlings but fell in love with him as napoleon 😍 he was so compelling and wonderful in that miniseries - with his italian background its only fitting that he portray the corsican napoleon
Michael Franceze said Armand's portrayal of Gotti was better than the real Gotti. I consider Armand's performance in that movie as one of the best acting performances in any movie I've ever seen.
Dwight...He didn't fire his missiles.

That's because he's half irish.
Watch him in napoleon and josephine- so compelling with loads of sex appeal and it takes a certain kind of actor to make napoleon sexy 🤣
Underrated actor
Very impressive man. Love watching him on the screen.
This man playing on Odyssey,God was great to him an his demeanor.God bless you

Well said Javinno
Watching this, all I see if Gotti! Damn, he played that role well!
I see Napoleon...
He out-Gotti'd, Gotti himself Now that's a professional!
He was so good in On The Beach (2000). Totally unknown to me before this. Reminds me a bit of Edward James Olmos in terms of presence.
Gorgeous man ! A fine actor leaving His audience with memorable performances.
I WILL be following more of his movie career.
A very personal intensity in his deliverance of studied and diligent acting.
Enjoyed the piece. Hope to see new movies soon ! His 'presence' is large.
understand he wears shoe lifts. I DO, and would still look UP to him! :)

Don’t matter when your laying down.
Love this man & and his acting . . . 💗
Congrats on the GIFF award, Mr. Assante.
May I wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Keep being yourself and may you continue to find work that is worthy of you.
A lion of a man
Best “Gotti” hands down. Really great actor.
Ő egy színész zseni, igazi mély érzésű ember, alázattal, ami mindenhez kell. A ráadás a hihetetlen, erős, sármos kisugárzása! ❤️
Beautiful Man ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I remember seeing him in The Odyssey when I was in middle school I can't really remember it but I love to see it again and he play Detective Nick Amaro's abusive father on Law and Order SVU season 16 episode called "Padre Sandunguero". He was also in Prophecy 1979 about a giant mutated grizzly bear he plays a native american.
His voice brings back Gotti! He should be the Boss!!!
This guy should let Armand speak! We are not watching this to hear Mr White Hair talk!
Great Napoleon as well.
it s a privilege to me to have the same last name with you.i don't know why but i hope and i pray that we shall meet one day.thank for your interview
You may share , A distance Family Blood Relationship, You Think.?
MyREDTAIL I did that comment 4years ago.i came today to see if he responded to me.but nothing.i have faith in GOD that one day,i will meet him and I will present myself to him as assante.
He did good as Franky Garbone movie. He's a hell of a actor...
Asante easily rivals De Niro and Pacino.
Fascinating!
His voice is amazing. What is that accent? Is it a mix? Or without sounding nasty, has he been affected by a stroke like sylvester stallone? He sounds amazing anyway
NAPOLÉON AND JOSÉPHINE ,
A LOVE STORY .
VIVE L'EMPEREUR !!!
One of the best !!!
Fun Fact: He played a villain named Renee Benoit from NCIS a French Arms Dealer. He did a great job with that role I thought he was French.
Rico Dredd and Gotti were incredible performances!
Best Gotti other than the real Gotti.....
Armand plays a greedy corrupt tycoon business guy in Shark Swarm 2008 a guy you love to hate and cheer when gets killed by the sharks and he plays so good.
The point is: Armand Assante is bad ass.
It would've been awesome if Assante and Chazz Palminteri were on The Sopranos or Boardwalk empire.
He betrayed The Law.
Hes good in mambo kings
GOTTI
This guy has parameters
Holy shit he sounds like Gotti!
TruePatriot1776 ** John gotti would be proud not by John Travolta performance or Tom siesmore as well
Great man
❤
ODYSSEUS!!!
Great as Napoleon.
Why Me? he plays a plastic surgeon with heart. won mine! I kept waiting for them to mention it.
Gotti should change his name, posthomulus, to Assante
This interview had parameters
Gonna name my kid after you bro
@Alex Nicoletti *LOL **_What??_*
I juss think it’s such a cool name
RICO!!!!
This guy might give Al Pacino a run for his money if he did a Godfather movie but he should have been in Goodfellas.
this guy got a present from santa in the santa clause! lol
Assante played Mike Powers on the old soap opera “The Doctors.” Back in the day, before he got his weird accent/manner of talking.
All i can picture is John Gotti
Little Darlings.
Paradise alley with Stallone
where the eff did that come from Id forgotten all about that movie
He’s my first cousin (Hand to God)
He's my son
A very, very manly man
Tzekkel-Khan
Robert deniro sucks now Armand assante should have gotten over faster such a great actor so underrated in my personal opinion I'm want to be an actor im taking beginning scene study next Monday Armand assante in gotti his my new hero as an actor thanks assante I love u
@Phil Leonetti Jr. I would say he is. He has never that recognition or popularity of Brando or De Niro.
I thought he was french
hearing him talk without the new york italian accent is weird
Quite a cut-up ain't he?
Exactly why Stallone was picked to play Gotti in the new Movie.
Barbarino got it bc of John Jr.
No one could Play that Role, Like Assante could
But the point is...
Mike hammer / i the jury was the 1st movie i seen him in, i watched it about 15 times, and yes its was because of all the nude women,....lol
Gotti is my favorite mobster movie
His young Brazilian model girlfriend ripped off Josh Brolin’s credit card for $40,000, and shoplifted from Saks Fifth Avenue. WHILE she was dating Assant in 2014.
Armand Assante aka John Gotti. John Travolta is trash compared with Armand .. but this is fucking Hollywood.. some Hollywood mafia shit .. so sad that Armand is so underrated:(
Qualcuno a detto una cosa d poco? AHAHA AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH
The host talks too much.
Horrible actor.
