The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices you make will shape your life forever.
Chazz PalminteriI came here knowing nobody. I worked clubs as a singer and even the doors a few times before I landed some TV roles.
Chazz PalminteriThe key is you have to keep doing the right thing. Do the right thing and stay around long enough, and you'll keep getting parts. And if you don't, you write your own parts, which I'm lucky to do. It's like anything else: you get hot, you get cold, then you get hot again. You just keep working.
Chazz PalminteriThe way I pick movies is, first, if the script is any good. Then, if the script is good, who else is in it, the director, the producer, all that. If you have all that, there's a chance the movie will be great. If the script isn't right, or the director or cast isn't right, you've got no shot in hell.
