Actor Tony LoBianco shares stories from his early years in Hollywood and from the set of classic films, such as, French Connection and weighs in on the current state of Hollywood with Bill Walton.
LoBianco unexpectedly made his way from an athlete as a baseball player and boxer to the artistic world of theater and Hollywood as an actor and then director in his early twenties. He made his big break in his first feature film in his early thirties, but even in his early years impressed mentors and directors with his screenwriting and directing genius in his acting roles.
Nowadays, he laments Hollywood’s obsession with diversity that interrupts the storytelling of films with confusing and inconsistent details, “Everything I do, every move I make on stage or any in a movie is calculated…[If] you do a hand movement, if you’re going to do this, so on, it’s for a purpose. So, when you bring something unusual on a set just because you want to have to do with some kind of political, something social, social stuff, it doesn’t make any sense.”
