Episode 574
Django Unchained, Donnie Brasco and Tulsa King
Actor: James Russo.

James Russo joins me for a rare interview to talk about "Tulsa King", his character QUIET Ray, his filmography which includes Django Unchained, Donnie Brasco, Beverly Hills Cop and so much more. James is immensely underrated. His performances are unique, always evolving and seem to fly under the radar.

I really enjoyed this interview.
Big fan of James Russo.
