Acting legend and icon Danny Aiello tells it like it is!

In this very fun chat, he talks about what happened behind the scenes of his films and tells stories about his famous friends (and enemies). The Do the Right Thing, The Godfather Part II and Moonstruck actor explains why there's bad blood between him and director Martin Scorsese, dishes on Robert De Niro scoring roles in Raging Bull and Goodfellas, and fills in the blanks about a huge fight he had with a famous actress. The iconic actor is candid and honest -- about life, work, women, family, sexual assault, communism, film set shenanigans, being Italian and more.

You'll also get a taste of his music, so stay tuned for the end of the show!
