    I know it’s been 3 years since you posted this video but regardless I wanted to say thank you for positing it. Recently my daughter has started watching Sesame Street and as Mr Noodles brother showed up I immediately recognized him from Jurassic Park 3 and then made me realize just how many films I’ve seen this man in. So obviously I wanted to learn a little more about him, especially once I discovered how he passed so long ago, so this video was absolutely everything I wanted to know, so thank you for making this great video!

    I can't express the gravity of excitement I have to finally see these returning! The Vincent Schiavelli was my favorite & I treasured it so much. I have a huge appreciation for the passion & true commitment to painting these immortalizing vignettes detailing the lives of such humbled yet masterful talent! You do such an incredibly great job shining the spotlight on the careers of these character actors. I just hope to see the Schiavelli spotlight posted again - your coverage of his later life in Italy & his cooking is so beautifully executed & appropriate. I'm from a Sicilian bloodline & can speak confidently on the justice you served by covering the aspect of Italians & their relationship to food - there's such a care & love put into the preparation of such meals. Apologies for the novel. It just made my day to see these back!

That Tony was so well deserved. It's crazy that I only knew him as Mr. Noodle, the recruit with the nail polish in Hair, and the teacher from Sister Act 2, and had no idea about his body of work before No Small Parts. I wish he was still with us🙏🏾

      He wasn’t “wrongfully executed”, that would mean Del was innocent, the execution was botched. I don’t know if it was ever explained in the movie, but in the book Eduard Delacroix was on death row for raping and murdering a girl, tried to cover up his crime by burning her body, but the fire got out of control and burned down a nearby apartment building, killing six more people. So while Del may not have deserved such an agonizing death, he was certainly no angel. Michael Jeter was a fantastic actor and played the part masterfully, he deserves the same praise as Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan get for that movie.

      @@johnselwitz5362 True, I don’t remember if it’s fully stated either (been a long time since a gave it a full watch through)but I’m sure there is a mention or a nod to his crime. Tom Hanks character does say something to tune of “ we aren’t here to judge these prisoners, just look after them till it’s their time to go down the mile” to Percy when he’s trying to justify his aggressive behaviour of the prisoners.
      I remember that watching that movie, i did feel a pity for Delacroix over the course of his time in the movie. I had read the book previous to seeing the film so I knew his heinous crime but with Michael Jeter’s performance you definitely felt that his character had regrets over his actions and wanted to be a better person (unlike Wild Bill or Percy Wetmore)
      Michael Jeter definitely made everyone feel horrified when his execution was at hand and disgust at Percy for such a disrespectful way of dealing with Delacroix.
      All to say he was an incredible actor in that movie and alongside Tom Hanks, Michael Clark Duncan, Sam Rockwell and the rest of the cast he absolutely smashed it out the park.

    • @johnselwitz5362
      @johnselwitz5362 6 месяцев назад

      @@jammin2575 While I’m not a religious person myself, I do appreciate the biblical references in The Green Mile, you had John Coffey as a reference to Jesus Christ while Del and Wild Bill represented the two thieves who were crucified alongside Jesus, Del represented the Penitent Thief as he was remorseful for what he had done and asked for forgiveness while Bill was the Impenitent Thief, who mocked Coffey and was full of sin until the very end. It’s why by the end, Del becomes a much more sympathetic character even for those who had read the book and knew about the horrific crime he committed, because I’ve seen the movie several times, I don’t think they ever mentioned what Del actually did to wind up on The Mile, unless it’s in a deleted scene that I haven’t watched. And I know what scene you’re talking about, Paul Edgecombe is explaining to Percy that working on death row should be no different than working at the intensive care unit of a hospital, in which Percy just scoffs and mocks his fellow coworkers for showing compassion to those who he thinks doesn’t deserve any.
      Jeter was fantastic in that movie and I don’t think he ever got the recognition he deserved, although his performance in The Green Mile was a reason why he got a pretty significant role in the third Jurassic Park movie. But the fact that he wasn’t even nominated for a Oscar for his performance is a shame, he was a big reason why the movie is so good and is revered to this day by many people.
