"American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince" is a 1978 documentary directed by Martin Scorsese. Its subject is Scorsese's friend Steven Prince, best known for his small role as Easy Andy, the gun salesman in Taxi Driver. Prince is a raconteur telling wild stories about his life as an ex-drug addict and a road manager for Neil Diamond. Scorsese intersperses home movies of Prince as a child as he talks about his family. When talking of his years as a heroin addict, Prince tells a story about injecting adrenaline into the heart of a woman who overdosed, with the help of a medical dictionary and a Magic Marker. This story was re-enacted by Quentin Tarantino in Pulp Fiction.

The Neil Young song "Time Fades Away" is featured during the film's opening credits.

  • Im jealous of this junkies life. Whats wrong with me?

  • @NeverMind9132 you could tell from his reaction he didn't wanna tell it... terrible story...

  • xD "It's the fourth of July. Everybody applauds." THAT got me rolling. This guy is a great storyteller!

  • is it just me or does martin seem a bit.. cocained xD

  • The story about the kid getting electrocuted was built up like it was going to be hilarious...

  • this guy should have been famous. Tarrantino totally stole this guys way of talking. The story telling style. I see it now

  • "Thats no asshole, thats your mother." Thats freaking hillarious. I can listen to this guy forever.

  • @guv859 Perhaps he's talking about himself because he's been asked to do a documentary about his life so far?

  • @xTazerx I agree. Maybe interesting to people who are stoned, but is boring and self indulgent to me.
