His first starring role in recent memory sees him playing a man who gives up a high-flying career as an executive to return to Italy, where he was born, to search for find his centre and regain his moral compass. In this interview we talk about the parallels between his life and that of his \u201cFrom the Vine\u201d character, Jimmy Stewart\u2019s wig and how \u201cOn the Waterfront\u201d made him want to be an actor\u2026 and here\u2019s a surprise.
