I've never heard my full credits.
I really haven't.
You got a Law & Order in there, too.
Tadpole.
Law & Order, you know, I got my brother calling me like, you know, once a year,
and he's like,
I just saw your Law & Order.
But like, Tadpole, man, nobody.
I think I've had one person in my life bring up Tadpole.
That's a great movie.
Yeah, yeah.
Wow.
I don't know.
I haven't seen it.
Yeah.
It was good stuff, man.
Buddy, thank you for coming in and sitting down with us.
Yeah, man.
This is awesome.
Thanks for having me.
We're excited.
Give us the back story.
Give us the origin story.
New York kid.
I grew up in New York City my whole life.
There were a lot of us in what they called a one-bedroom apartment, which wasn't
because
there was no door.
Okay.
It was like a studio type thing.
Yeah, it was like a studio, but it had like another room, like a bedroom, but
it was not.
There were cockroaches in the bread, you know.
Jesus.
We had really, yeah, yeah, man.
What neighborhood was this?
This was 83rd between 1st and 2nd, and the only reason why we lived there was
because my
grandfather was the super.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I lived on 81st and 1st for a while.
Really?
Right near Gracie Mews' diner.
Come on, man.
Buddy.
Yeah, of course.
Great burgers.
Yeah, yeah.
Gracie Mews, we used to call it the Spizz.
You'd think, you'll meet me at the Spizz.
They would let us smoke.
They had little ashtrays, and they would let us fucking smoke.
Not even back in the day, like, well, back in the day, but like, not a long
time.
Not when you were allowed to smoke.
There would be like 7 a.m.
We'd be smoking in there because, like, you know, when we were underage, there
were no,
like, after hours.
Sometimes they would let us in, and we would just go there and order, like, a
cheeseburger
and a beer, and just then, like, you know, 37 more beers, and just, like, leave
the burger
on the table, just be fucking drinking all night.
Dude, one underrated thing about New York diners is they serve booze.
That's great.
And it's fucking awesome.
The best.
You always forget, and then you're there, you're like, I'll do a beer, and then,
like, cut
to it, and they never take them off the table, so it's like, there's always
just, like, 38 empty beer bottles on the table.
And the craziest selection of liquor.
They got peach schnapps and shit like that.
Yeah.
Fucking wild shit.
I feel like they all just bring it in from their house every day.
Like, what do you got?
I got three Sam Adams.
You know your drink?
You got a drinking problem, which I've done a bunch, when you drink them out of
a beer.
They're like, oh, we're out of Budweiser's.
Does this work?
You're like, just fucking bring it in.
They're like, you want the one that's been on display for a year and a half on
the counter
here?
Yeah.
We, you know, I'd love to ask your guys' opinions about this.
We busted my friend's balls for, like, five years because, so you know when
they give the
mozzarella sticks and the lettuce is on the bottom?
Hate it.
The worst.
So we all, you know, everybody's eating and whatever, and he takes the fucking
lettuce,
rolls it up, and then takes the marinara sauce, dips it out, and eats it.
One of the grossest moves I've ever seen to this day.
That's fucking nuts.
And by the way, like, if you're fucking 60 or 50, it's like one thing.
We were like 16 years old.
Yeah, you can't be doing that.
We're like, bro, get another order.
I know.
They're 350, man.
Yeah, the menu is 17 pages.
I know.
Stop eating marinara lettuce.
That's a, that's like, yeah, that's like eating the parsley.
Yeah, I mean, it's crazy.
That's never crossed my mind to even do that.
It was, he was like in his glory just doing it, and there were eight dudes just
like.
Dude, that's nasty.
Holy shit.
Yeah, that ain't great.
Holy shit.
All right, Upper East Side, Yorkville.
Upper East Side.
What'd your mom and dad do?
That's what we did.
Yeah, so my mom ended up eventually working for Transit, and then my dad worked
at Queen
Center Mall.
Okay.
Damn, you are a fucking New York kid.
And how many of them were you?
Yeah, so my mom and dad, this is really New York.
So my mom and dad were like 17 or 18 when they had me.
They weren't even like, they were like barely dating.
They were, they were, they tried to make it work for a little bit, and then my
dad went
off and he had four kids, and then my mom went off and had one more, went right
when
I moved out of the house at 18.
Okay.
She had one more.
Damn.
Yeah, yeah.
Pretty, pretty wild.
Yeah.
Yikes.
So you had, so, but the age gap is an 18 year difference between you and your
youngest
sibling.
Yeah.
And then the other ones are like almost the same.
There's a, there's a set of twins that are also like that same age.
And then my other, but, but I was, yeah, I was, I was the only one for like
nine years
or something.
In the, in the studio apartment, you and your parents.
Well, no, my, it was my grandparents' place that we lived at.
Yeah.
So like my fucking great grandma who apparently had her own place, but would
just like lived
on the chair.
Like she just said, she smoked, uh, so my grandparents smoked cools and then
she smoked
Paul malls and, uh, never inhaled.
And everybody in the family would be like, Whoa, I know what that is.
There's a missing.
No, you know what that is?
That's a test of the emergency broadcast system on the phone that they were
doing.
Oh, wow.
Hey, shit goes down.
Is that everybody's phones going off?
Yeah.
Probably heard about the lettuce at the time.
The emergency system is functioning.
I got a dirt bag on the Upper East Side eating orange slices and parsley.
So you're great.
So your grandparents are in the house.
Grandparents.
It was their place.
And then my, my mom and then like my two uncles would be in and out.
Like it was crazy, man.
It was like a, and we, the craziest part of the whole thing is so the bathroom
was the
size of like a locker.
Like it was so tiny and it was just a toilet.
And then the shower was in the kitchen.
I've seen that.
Get the fuck out of here.
Dude, we were, yeah, it was.
Birdies?
Yeah, it might as well.
It was fucking.
I picture that scene from Willy Wonka where they're all laying in bed together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what, yeah.
I slept on the, I slept on the couch in the living room with my grandma and my
grandpa.
It was just like that.
What the fuck?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you would hear, and it was so terrifying because at night all you would
hear was like
and you'd just hear mice fucking running back and forth on the thing.
And then you'd hear one get caught on the traps.
Dude, it was.
And that was breakfast.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
And then you started working very young.
Yeah.
So at like six years old, I was walking down the street with my dad who, you
know, my dad
was like a bigger dude.
Like, you know, at the time probably benching like 315.
He rides a Harley and like some gay dude.
It's trashy to quote what your dad was benching.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was doing, he could get 350 one time.
He wasn't doing right.
Well, that's all I know about him.
You know, I just, but he, he, the reason I say it is because he, that a gay
dude approached
us, which in 1990 is different than, you know, 2020 or 23, whatever.
And, and was like, hey, your son is, should be an actor, you know?
And my dad's like, what?
That sounds like a couple of bucks involved in that.
Well, that's what happened.
So my, so he gives, and my, and my dad's like, what, buddy?
Like, what?
And he's like, no, no, no, I'm, I'm, I'm a manager.
I manage, uh, you know, commercial talent and actors, whatever.
And he gives my dad a card and my dad's like, what the fuck?
And he brought the card back to my mom.
My mom's like, yeah, of course.
Like, I knew it.
You know?
I've been saying he's the cutest baby to be.
That's when everybody in the apartment started dancing and singing around, you
know?
I got a golden ticket.
That's a golden ticket, baby.
And, uh, so they start throwing me on.
Yeah.
No more mice for us.
They start throwing me on auditions and like pretty, pretty quick.
I got like Pizza Hut was my first one.
Then I got IBM, AT&T, and like things started rolling.
National spots?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Woo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So a couple of bucks started rolling in.
Yeah.
A couple of bucks, but, uh, it's, it's like, it's, this sounds like a douchey
thing to
say, but like, I don't even remember the amount of money because then
eventually Sopranos
hit and you're like, oh yeah, that, you know, that was like gas money compared
to fucking,
you know, we're like, holy shit.
I just picture you in a big one like, dad, what do you need?
Take it.
Get out
