My dad busts his ass driving long shifts and commuting so he's not home much.

Growing up we watched Dog Day afternoon together so many times I lose count.

That's him it is happiest.

One day when I was about 13 after dad's been driving his bust in the Bronx he bursts

in the front door out of his mind excited.

I might be in a movie or at least my bust might be.

Turns out he sees a movie getting shot on his route.

To movie called Fort Apache the Bronx starring Paul Newman and he drives by the actual camera.

Maybe they can see his bust too.

That night there's this lightness in him this energy.

Not long after he tries out for his first community theater production and he gets in.

It's a courtroom drama and he plays the court clerk.

There are a lot of nights when he gets home from a 12 hour shift changes out of his uniform

and heads right back out to rehearsal.

I am very proud watching him.

The maize at his courage.

Maybe that's why he doesn't stand in my way on that breezy and sunny September day.

Martin Scorsese is good fellows is one of my all time favourite films and if I'm being

honest I was probably a bit too young when I first watched it but hey what you're going

to do.

So I'm pretty excited that today's story is from Michael Imperiolli who in his 20s played

the ill-fated spider.
