Wasted Talent
Wasted Talent is a gritty documentary directed by Steve Stanulis and produced by Noel Ashman that looks at the temptations and struggles that many young celebrities face on their path to stardom. It tells the story of actor Lillo Brancato, who was once regarded as the next Robert De Niro after starring in A Bronx Tale (De Niro's directorial debut), Renaissance Man, Crimson Tide, and the classic television series The Sopranos. Brancato, on the other hand, became ensnared in the underworld of Hollywood, eventually becoming a drug addict and being arrested for the murder of a New York City police officer during a drug trip gone horribly wrong. Despite being acquitted of the murder charge, Brancato was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison for attempted burglary. The young actor was ultimately able to get clean and sober during his time in prison, and is now attempting to rehabilitate himself in the fickle world of entertainment.
