Armand Assante
disappeared during a family vacation in Greece ?..
News uploaded in December last year...
The disappearance of Armand Assante was played
down by the White
House administration today despite reports the Hollywood actor may have
been the target of a CIA extradition order in
connection with the recent Wikileaks scandal.....
......
With a range of conservative pundits calling for
domestic courts to try
Assante as a terrorist his sudden disappearance from
a family vacation in Greece has heightened
speculation that U.S authorities may have employed
illegal methods in his capture.
..........
While of
Irish-Italian background Assante has successfully played a
range of different ethnicities. Also problematic for
Assante’s defence team is his convincing portrayal of terrorists in a
number of films and his ever-changing appearance
...........
Assante’s family are
concerned for the ongoing physical and mental
wellbeing of Armand, and high-profile Hollywood
stars have added their voices to a growing chorus demanding details of
Assante’s whereabouts.
...........
“He’s done nothing wrong,” said former co-star Demi Moore, “apart
from Striptease, perhaps.”

How many terrorist characters has Armand Assante performed ?
I haven't seen all his movies ? But the only "terrorist" I could think of, was Ghost in "Shadows in Paradise"
His characters in movie is not the reason for this.
Sarah Palin previously declared: "We have to hunt him down as if he was 'Al-Queda' !" mening as if he was a terrorist (about Assange) who is assumingly gone undercover somewhere in England.
And here is a link to LIFE Photo Gallery where they discuss the "likeness" between Armand Assante and Julian Assange...It says: "A study of the pair's history reveals more connections than you might imagine. Or does it?"
Assange grew up in Australia, and Assante in New York !!?
LifeComImage
LIFE want's to point that they have NOTHING in commen.
Only their surname shares some letters exspect from 't' and 'g'
I have to ask myself: "Did Assange ever use a name or identity that contained Assante's surname ?"

supporter of the film "Brooklyn Odyssey"
"...........I have been a long supporter of the film 'Brooklyn Odyssey' and it's writer/director.
It is a film that simply, must be made, and deserves to be made.
It can be important to American Cinema, as well being successful in the market arena.
It is a win-win for all who invest in it, as it is technically a small enough film that represents the best of what the Independent Film movement has to offer.
The essence of why it is such an attractive project can be found in it's human values.........."

currentargus.com/ci_18113727
Armand Assante's name is mentioned because he lend his voice, and appearance to promote the hotline in a video..it was created in March this year.
The spot, which was directed by Santa Fe's own Emmy Award-winning Doug Crawford, was filmed at Algodones Elementary School.
Assisting Crawford were David Aubrey, director of photography for Lightningwood Films, James Becker, audio, and Svetlana Britt doing makeup.
Heading up the project for CYFD was Betsy Model of the Zephyr Group in Placitas. Spot-makers offered special thanks to Laura Greenleaf, principal at Algodones Elementary, and all the great kids from Algodones and San Felipe Pueblo who helped with video.
The PSA is in English and Spanish, and will begin airing throughout New Mexico shortly.
Armand Assante has nothing to say over the economy behind it, he is just supporting the idea of having a place to call in case children get abused.

Interesting with this early Brando'esk appearance..
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is know as a film with Elisabeth Taylor and Paul Newman
Then I bump into this sentence (that aren't finished)
"....Somebody must have told Armand Assante that he resem)led Marlon Brando. Posing and rolling his eyes, he gives what amounts to a mannered parody.....(????)"
That leads to:
"....CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF. The world premiere of the new authorized version of the play by Tennessee Wililams. .....
Armand Assante had a role in this play...and performed at Stage West, West Springfield, Massachusetts

Updating info about
Fake Official Website
This page has changed into a new look, but is still a fake.
Now it´s called the official armand assante website and armand assante net.
In the metatags for this site is the name for the english fansite written: Absolutly Armand Assante, - hoping to create confusing between him and this fanclub with TV guides. Also he is still trying to create confusing between him and Vision Films.
From the IMDb he links to his site from Official Website, to make it look authentic.
Do not under any circumstances give the owner of this fake website your E-mail adress, cellphone number or real adress. It will be abused.
Be sure to delete any cookies, temporary sites e.t.c. in your browser if you go visit it any way.
Virus scan your C drive for mallware, spyware, rootkits and phizers.
After visiting this fake website lately we discovered we longer could get acces to the "assantefansite" nor the english fansite, but any other site on the internet.
After a Virusscan the problem was solved.
It means that the owner of the site has planted Malwware that provents you from visiting some of the fansite for Armand Assante. Do immediatly Virusscan your computer.
Besides that a new Facebook profil for Armand Assante has been created allmost with the same name as the one linked to here below, we have reason to believe that same creator of the other fakes is behind this as well.

Fraud website and fake profiles
(The so called Official Armand Assante Website)
The man behind it...also behind other fakes.
Identity forgery
Some allready know others don't, but I have been confronted with several fake Armand Assante profiles on wellknown forums as, Facebook, MySPace and Twitter.
June 26
In this specific case we learned that the man behind this fraud website also was identical with the man behind the MySpace profile we warned about May, 2009. Further more he figured behind several internet websites showing Armand Assante Filmography's and photos covered with advertisings (pay per click-type) non of these informations were completed.
From some of these website links went to his MySpace profile for Armand Assante and other inappropiate pages he had created.
The purpose of them all are money. You search for info about Armand Assante and enter one page after another, with no fullfilling News nor Filmography and the person that uploaded it,...hope to earn money for any click you might accidently make at some advertising...
As well as the News/Sightings page at the Fraud Website invited you to inform the right owner of that page to report Armand Assante's latest's whereabouts.
No fan in their right mind would ever do a thing like that.
A true fan respect Armand Assante's privacy and would never say or do anything that might create hearsay nor gossip.
"The bait" was in this case that you as a fan apparently could become a member of Armand Assante's Official Social Network (Frontpage indicated a Twitter Profile) the purpose of this, was of totally different reason...!!
In spite of this...fans still entered the page and made comments..without thinking of the consequences, not even for their own security.
Think before you act !!!!. Any celebrities name and integrity are abused by these fake wanna-bees every day.
Some Profiles are that obvoius fakes, that I choose to do nothing about it.
Others looked so authenthic I immediatly informed Armand Assante about it.
They either disappeared shortly after or put up a disclaimer, that it had nothing to do with him in any way and was just a fanpage.
It usually take 4 days before the effect of such information is visible in this case it took about 20 days.
I´m just another ordinary fan and have no opportunity to inform Armand Assante any faster, than any other fan in the world. An express mail has been posted.
Identity forgery is sadly very common. It´s major problem.
But they keep comming up as we speak.
Please, please be carefull out there !

Investors File Suits Against Los Angeles Filmmaker Saxon, Insomnia Media Group.
A number of investors have filed legal action against a Los Angeles-based filmmaker for allegedly bilking them out of millions of dollars in a pyramid scheme to finance his Tennessee-based movie.
The lawsuits have been filed in Nashville and Los Angeles on behalf of investors who gave Bret Saxon approximately $750,000 for a movie to be filmed in the Memphis area about a Mississippi charity titled "A Fine Step" according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

His name is Mahmoud Karkehabadi.
Karkehabadi allegedly promised his more than 150 investors returns of between 18% and 35% within one year on loans made to his production company for four low-budget films, including the 2005 action drama "Confessions of a Pit Fighter," starring Armand Assante and Flavor Flav, and the 2008 thriller "Hotel California" starring model Tyson Beckford.
"He ran a cold and calculated scam, making promises he never intended to keep and using the funds of new victims to pay off the earlier ones."
In 2003, the state secured a $5-million judgment against Karkehabadi for credit card fraud, after which he filed for bankruptcy. Neither fact was disclosed to Alliance Group investors, according to the attorney general's office.

"....In addition to the luxury items, bank records show Martin and Walsh spent more than $569,000 diverted from One World to help finance the production of "Order of Redemption," an unreleased action film starring Rhymes, Tom Berenger and Armand Assante.

Armand Assante
The Steam synopsis, also from Cinepro
Doug Alchin plays Lt. Clark in the movie
"All my dialogue is with Armand and Val Kilmer and there is quite a bit of screen time," Alchin said.
Alchin described his three days of shooting as a fun experience and said everyone went out of their way to be friendly.
After one scene, Alchin said Assante said to him, "Doug, I'm so embarrassed. I know I've seen you in dozens of films, but I can't place which ones."
The movie opened on May 5 with a private screening in Grand Rapids and one weekend of shows. It will then be going to DVD after making its Lansing stop.
The horror magazine Fangoria previewed it, saying what the director was setting out to achieve "is arguably the first genuinely scary ecology-driven horror movie. If 'Jaws' made viewers stay out of the water and 'The Blair Witch Project' kept us out of the woods, ('The Chaos Experiment') promises to encourage us to pay a little more attention to our carbon footprints."

"The

All with the purpose of demanding bribes from the

After that the production company got swindled by
its Turkish partner ?zen Film.
Due to all bribes which Stonelock Pictures had to pay to
the Turkish authorities and due to the unreliable local
production partner, the budget was cracked even before the shooting
of the film started.
What is left of the film project is the Sumerian village, which now is being plundered and sold by STONEFLOCK PICTURES Turkish partner ?zen Film."

Armand Assante Enters Bankruptcy
Victim of alleged mortgage fraud
Armand Assante is attending Kasakhstan Fashion Week here in October meanwhile he is broke and might loose his farm and land.
