this is my favourite doc of all-time. thank god for youtube...or i would never have discovered this. steven prince is a world-class raconteur and a living legend...
I always wondered what happened to this guy. He was memorable in Scorsese'sTaxi Driver as the gun dealer. Curious as to why he never became a bigger star?
Only answer I can think of for that is that he's more of a character than an actor... in this section he mentions Frank Weintraub, who was the father of Sandy Weintraub - Martin Scorcese's long-time girlfriend who introduced Steve to Marty becaase the role of Easy Andy was so much like him. The gun collection in the film is actually his. Marty was fascinated by his stories so he kept him around as a friend, bodyguard and advisor for years afterwards...
Interesting that Scorcese kept this guy around for years. That story in the last segment of him blowing away the drugged-out mexican-indian guy stealing tires from the gas station he was working at seals this guy as the real deal. Be interesting to see the upcoming American Prince and what he's been doing all these years.
The Draft has to be my favorite story in this whole thing.
