Danny Aiello
Acting legend and icon Danny Aiello has a great chat with Kara about his films, like Do the Right Thing, The Godfather Part II and Moonstruck. He explains why there's bad blood between him and director Martin Scorsese, what happened when Robert De Niro got his Raging Bull and Goodfellas gigs, talks about a big fight he had with a famous actress, and talks about shenanigans on film sets. The iconic actor is candid and honest -- about life, work, women, family, sexual assault, communism, being Italian and more. Sit back and enjoy.
