A wonderfull interview
with Armand Assante
from Commerce Magazin 2007
Interview with Armand Assante made right after finishing "American Gangster " and right before starting on his role in "Chicago Overcoat"
"Over the years, I'ved learned that every thing I do in life is based on my relationsship with someone. Everything I've accomplished is based on human relationships on a very deep level. We do nothing in life alone, no matter how much we say we're alone" says a philosophical Armand Assante.

Armand Assante
Armand Assante working on his own film about farming....
This information says that William DeMeo's role is Bobby Baldano and Armand Assante is performing Joseph, Bobby Baldano's father.
Photos from scenes in the Barber Shop. Director Borghese just moved back to Rockland, he says:"There are just so many great locations in the area that ... are unique and original and haven't been seen before."
Armand Assante signed on about a year ago, citing Borghese's friendship and talent as reasons.
"He has a natural gift for sending up the whole crime genre," Assante says. "I think he has a great sense of humor. He has a funny twist on things."
Borghese plans to return to Tappan in May to film outdoor scenes in and around the area, and at the Oak Tree Inn when the weather improves.
Armand Assante, who owns a farm in Orange County, has similar hopes for film production growth in the Hudson Valley. He's working on his own film about farming in the '40s.
"I would love to be able to spearhead some kind of small studio here," he says. "I literally have lived and traveled all over the planet. ... The Hudson Valley is probably one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and many people don't know that."

Interview with
Armand Assante
at the Fourth Annual Gasparilla International Film Festival
March 18 - 21, 2010
"Mr. Assante is one of the more sincere and passionate people out there.
One things for sure, you'll always get a straight and intelligent answer out of this guy" says the young man (Joe Belcastro) that made this very interesting interview, asking Armand Assante some questions we aren't use to hear about.
Armand Asante tells about the conditions for actors now-a-days and how hard it is to get through with a creative project in the movieworld.
"...I have a project I've been working on for awhile and I met with one of the biggest producers in television. She told me to come back when I have the pilot and 26 episodes and they'll consider it. Not many actors have that kind of bread to fund that sort of thing. Especially in the current economic climate of the industry." he says...
He also tells he only got one horse now back at his farm in Upstate New York...

She says: "Armand freakin Assante!! What a wonderful, articulate, intelligent and gracious man.".....
"We spent an hour and a half in his lovely home and got to find out all about his acting career and the mega stars he has worked with."
Debra Markowitz's interview with Armand Assante at his farm.
We get to see some of the finest highlights of his roles through time.
Armand Assante still don't recommend the acting business...
In the end Debra Markowitz give Armand Assante The Creative Achivement Award.
Armand Assante gives us insight into the difficult and time consuming preparation that goes on before a role is rehearsed and his philosophy about the author's work which he considers as a sheet of music and you have to follow the punctuation in the original creation to find the right character for your performance.
He also complains that all must go so quickly these days, acting is not about results but the procces of deeb involvement into the role and lots of research and it takes time.

The interview was made in this room at first floor at the farm.
