All That Chazz: My Q&A With Chazz Palminteri

I’ve been watching the very talented and interesting actor, writer and filmmaker Chazz Palminteri on his youtube.com podcasts.  

I interviewed Chazz Palminteri for the Philadelphia Inquirer back in 2016. My Q&A with him also appeared in the Inquirer’s sister newspaper, the Philadelphia Daily News.

After interviewing Chazz Palminteri, I took in his one man show A Bronx Tale, where he portrays 18 roles, at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City. 

After the amazing show, I was invited backstage to speak with him and pose for photographs, along with my wife and my friends Mark and Donna Tartaglia. 

Even after his grueling performance, Chazz Palminteri was engaging and gracious.

The Real CSI: Garry Gurroldo, Retired Philadelphia Police Officer, On Chazz Palminteri Podcast

I enjoy watching Chazz Palminteri's podcast, as he always has on interesting guests and there are always interesting conversations. 

I found his latest podcast to be especially interesting, as he had on Garry Gurroldo (seen in the above screenshot), a retired CSI Philadelphia police officer. 

In addition to his fascinating stories about his time in CSI, Gurroldo, like me, a South Philadelphian, spoke of places in South Philly most familiar to me, such as the old 1970s club, The Loft and The Twin Smoke Shoppe.

I hung out at The Loft, a great club, when I was a young man, and I often visited The Twin Smoke Shoppe and enjoyed a fine cigar with my late friend, Mark Tartaglia, a retired Philadelphia detective who recently died.
