Johnny "Roastbeef" Williams Was Buried Alive In Lancaster....

Johnny "Roast Beef" Williams, the unforgettable face from Goodfellas, joins Stephen Baldwin on One Bad Movie. He tells the story of how he really got cast, and it starts with slapping a real wise guy in front of Martin Scorsese. Johnny walks through his audition, in which he walked out on an actor who was reading the scene to his shoes. He also breaks down why Scorsese's camera work in his scene is so brilliant, and shares his own one bad movie: a low-budget desert shoot with a French director he couldn't understand and a script he made up on the spot. Then he talks about his book, a story of growing up in East Harlem with no father in the house and a whole neighborhood standing in for one, and about the delis, the mob partners, and the butter knife sit-down that never made it onto film.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
