I knew some of the story but hearing all the details right out Chazz's mouth I couldn't get enough ! Micheal your face ,your smile the whole time was priceless like a little kid on Christmas Morning ! When Chazz told us about the New Caddy being delivered to him ,$200 to his name sign that paper right You'll have $1Million, he Says "No" ,I LOVE IT , NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE PLAYED SONNY ,NO ONE . Believing in yourself, your vision turning down a Million Bucks !As a salesman myself once I learned and mastered what we call "The Takeaway " things changed, be confident enough to walk away ! At a certain point I say to someone "Ok well obviously this isn't for you, but I do appreciate your time" or "I dont think your the right person for this and that's ok" I could go on & on, but not what the prospect expects from what they consider to be a Comm Hungry Salesperson ! I can't begin to tell you how many of these people call back and do the deal ! In Chazz's case he was brave enough to walk away, one door closed and God opened another in the form of Robert DeNiro ! Please Micheal when is Part"3" I can't wait !

    What makes this channel great is that you don't talk over your guests. Michael is an amazing interviewer. You respect your guests and audience enough to not speak over them. He gives us a chance to experience just who they are and what they're all about. Michael has anyone approached you about having your own talk show ? I believe it would be amazing. Happy Birthday Big Guy 👍

    Mr Franzese. Is it true that you’re late dear father, Sonny was the inspiration for the bar scene in The Bronx Tale. Watching that documentary by Newsday on your family you as well as your brother John did. I heard them mention that was the case.

      I'm hoping one day Michael and his brother can have one of these sitdowns. They've had incredible lives, and are still here. The way John talks about Michael and his dad in that documentary...you can hear there's a bond there that will always exist. No one else knows the story of their family and the price paid the way they do.

      I think that’s why Michael’s mother used to go after him and physically attack him. I mean think about it. She gave birth to Michael. And he took his father his adopted father John more than his own mother. I’m sure that was in a way was devastating at her for times. Maybe she thought he would back her more in the family. But it’s just a thought. But after hearing some of the family stories. One can only wonder.

    He needs to talk to Michael Madsen, Sonny Black himself. Talk about a character...........Please Michael Franzese, sit down with Michael Madsen. He’s such a smart guy and he’s been around a while. He’s seen the dark side. He’s lived it. He wasn’t a wise guy but he’s been around.

    He made his character so sympathetic that I was sad to see him die. I was heartbroken for the kid too. I’m gonna need to watch more stuff with both these actors. So good!!
