Film Synopsis:
Wasted Talent is a gritty documentary in which director Steve Stanulis and producer Noel Ashman together examine the temptations and struggles faced by many young celebrities who become star. It focuses on the story of actor Lillo Brancato who was once considered the next Robert De Niro, after his huge success starring in the films A Bronx Tale (de Niros directorial debut), Renaissance Man, Crimson Tide and the classic TV show The Sopranos. However, Brancato got caught up in the Hollywood underworld instead of becoming a drug addict culminating in his arrest for the murder of a New York City police officer in a drug trip gone wrong. Although Brancato was acquitted of the murder charge, he still served eight and a half years in prison for the attempted burglary conviction. During his time in prison, the young actor finally got clean and sober and now fights to redeem himself in the changing world of entertainment. - Buff film uploaded by: Freeman March 11, 2019 at 01:03 pm
