Frank Vincent discusses a change in the script

About Me

I wasn't born in 1907. You Are Ed Wood From "Ed Wood."

You definitely have your name in history, although probably not for the reason you believe. Yet you are very accepting, non-judgemental, and optimistic almost to a fault. You also have a thing for angora sweaters. How could anyone not like you?

My Interests

"The Bridge Keeper" is my latest short film. ___________________________________________I am currently in production on my next film "Miss Silver", a Twilight Zone-esque story that I hope to have completed sometime this century_______________It_stars_Elizabeth_Allen,_a_great_actr ess_on_the_rise I'm_here_with_co-stars_Tom_Edwards,_Liz,_and_Keith_Kern It_also_features_Tita_Valdiviezo_and_Chala_Savino

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet anyone who watches my movies, that way I can get them to the hospital so they can get their stomach pumped.Click below to view my short movie Estupido. I have no doubt it will live up to it's title. .. width="425" height="350" ..This is my short movie "The Plumbing Ninja", an action packed thriller that delves into the crime and espionage that takes place in the underbelly of the world of plumbing. It's stars include David Januzzi and Lisa E. Howard. It's 5:22 long. .. width="425" height="350" ... .. . Click below to view my short movie "Doppleganger" .. width="425" height="350" ..This is my short film "BUENA SALSA", a short story about a woman who escapes her world of silence with a magic Salsa Jar. It has already garnered more YouTube hits than Plumbing Ninja and Doppleganger combined. I guess that's what happens when you cast an attractive woman as the star. I'll have to remember that in the future.

Music:

Jeff Beck, Michael Schenker, anything with great guitar playing. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motorhead, UFO, Witches of Moodus, Arch Demon Choir. One of my favorite bands is Smoke, which features my good friend, the alluring and talented Metal Nurse_______ When she joins forces with Smoke, they are an unstoppable force of metal_______ Another great band is Sinaria, which features another mighty mistress of metal, the guitar shredding Erin_________ Erin has more Metal in her two fingers than most people have in their entire bodies. On one extraordinary occassion, Erin and the Metal Nurse were actually on the same stage at the same time. It was a historic event to say the least______________________________ ______________It was a double dose of metal maiden mayhem!

Movies:

Big Lebowski, Raging Bull, Casino, Something About Mary, Clockwork Orange, the first two Saw movies, the original Reefer Madness, 8mm, Bad Ronald. Any movie where Joe Pesci and Frank Vincent beat the shit out of each other. Frank Vincent is one of the classiest people you could ever meet. If it wasn't for his charater Phil Leotardo I would have stopped watching Sopranos years ago. Here's Frank on Jimmy Kimmel 5/3/2007 Here's a great interview with Frank from the Colbert Report: Here's a trailer for a movie Frank recently did with Vinnie "Big Pussy" Pastore called "A Tale of Two Pizzas". .. width="425" height="350" ...Godfather I & II. Gianni Russo played Carlo, Talia Shire's husband (he gets the shit beaten out of him by James Caan). I met Gianni in 2005 at the San Genarro Feast in Hollywood. He's a really nice guy. Visit his MySpace page and check out his tunes.Another Godfather II luminary is Frank Sivero, who is even better known as Frankie Carbone in Goodfellas, most memerable as the guy who gets stuffer in the freezer after getting whacked! In real life he is a great guy.. . .Another great movie is Big Bad Momma 2. There were too many questions left unanswered from Big Bad Momma 1, so they had to make the sequal. The best part about the movie is Julie McCullough. Julie Julie Julie! That girl is the friggin' bomb!Here is a video clip from YouTube, featuring an interview with the "funny bunny" herself. .. width="425" height="350" ...I'm a big fan of any movie that features my good friend Martin Chaddock, pictured here with me at the Hollywood racetrack. This is a trailer for a movie Martin Chaddock appeares in. It's called "Running Stupid", starring Sam Tripoli, who, like Martin, is formerly from my neck of the woods, now transplanted to Hollywierd. Martin potrays a Trekkie, which shows his range as an actor, being that in the 30 years that I've known him he has always hated Star Trek. .. width="425" height="350" .. Martin recently helped produce a documentary of the 1980s Florida rock scene, which climaxes with a reuinion of all of those bands in January 2007 in honor of the late great Florida promoter Sheila Witkin, who we lost last year. The film is called "Another Night At The Agora". Here is the trailer:A great movie was the ORIGINAL "Hitcher", the one starring C. Thomas Howell and Rutger Hauer, not the shitty remake that's out there now. I recently discussed with C. Thomas Howell how they always make shitty remakes of great movies___________________________________

Television:

Entourage, Highlander, Magnum P.I., Odd Couple, Twilight Zone. Seinfeld was a great show. Even people doing one or two shot appearances became staples of Americana. One such person is the "Soup Nazi" Larry Thomas. The Soup Nazi is one of the most legendary TV characters, and in the real world Larry is a great guy, one of the coolest people you could ever meet. He is also a tireless champion of the Humane Society, a great charity indeed. Here is a short movie Larry recently starred in called "Fistfull of Quarters". It's about 14 minutes long.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com.One of my favorite TV writers/creators is Stephen J. Cannell. He created dozens of great shows, too many to name, Rockford Files, A-Team, etc, etc, and he created Renegade, starring Lorenzo Lamas and Kathleen Kinmont. Kathleen Kinmont is a kick ass chick who can kick your ass! Her mother Abby Dalton is one of the most beautiful women of all time, and Kathleen inherited her good looks. Renegade was never the same after Kathleen left the show. Branscombe Richmond played Bobby Sixkiller. In real life he is a total character.Used to like Sopranos, but last few seasons sucked, except for the episodes with Pauly Walnuts and Frank Vincent. Sundance Channel has some cool shit, especially the short movies. One of my favorite shows was Carnivale on HBO. It's unfortunate that TV shows are based on ratings and not quality. Carnivale had some top notch talent. . . Nick Stahl also appeared in the movie Sin City as Yellow Bastard. He's a great actor and I'm sure we'll see more of him . . . . . . . . . . Adrienne Barbeau is not only a legend, but she is one of the most gracious people you could ever meet. . . . Tim DeCay played the part of Jonesy. He currently has a new show in development with HBO. . . . Michael Anderson played Sampson, the runner of the Carnivale. He's also recently appeared on Charmed as a leprechaun. . . . . One television show that had a profound impact on my life was Dukes of Hazzard, particularly the performance of Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke. She is an ageless beauty and a very gracious person to boot.Another great show was the sitcom "Too Close For Comfort", which featured the comedic genius of the late great Ted Knight. It also featured the alluring charms of my buddy Lydia Cornell. Lydia has also recently appeared on "Curb Your Enthusiasm". Can you blame comedic geniuses like Larry David and Ted Knight for wanting to work with her? In real life Lydia is just as brainy as she is beautiful. She is adept at discussing politics, religion, and great television. She is one of the most genuine people I've ever met. And she's smokin' hot!_______________________________________

Books:

The only thing I ever read is Playboy magazine. I find the articles to be very intriguing. Playboy has also brought me in contact with some very nice girls. . . Sandi Taylor is a very sweet person, and she always towers over me with her sky high stilettos. . . . Christy Hemme is like a ball of fire! This girl needs to switch to decaf. Christy was winner of the original WWE Diva Search________________________________We can't talk about gorgeous Playmates without mentioning Mia St. John... . . . . . . . . . Mia also happens to be the Womens's World Boxing Champion, and she couldn't wait to show me her solar plexus punch! They don't call her "The Knockout" for nothing. . . . Barbara Moore was not only Playmate of the Year, but she also appeared in Austin Powers as a femme bot. . . . One of my favorites is Cathy St. George .Julie McCullough is not only one of the sexiest Playmates ever, but she was also the best thing about TV's Growing Pains. Those assholes totally dropped the ball when they fired her. Julie is currently rocking the Los Angeles comedy circuit, where she's known as the funny bunny. .Watch this video to see Julie's "Pretty, Funny Women" show. These girls are pretty funny. And pretty. And funny. Just watch the fucking video!
Get this video and more at MySpace.com Brande Roderick doesn't need her red Baywatch swimsuit to look smokin' hot. She looks just as hot in her zebra striped shirt and jeans. She's also a very nice person.

Heroes:

Charlie Mopps, who was the inventor of beer. Could there be a greater hero?
