Actor Lillo Brancato has announced an exciting reunion with his former “A Bronx Tale” co-star Taral Hicks for a special upcoming episode that will revisit one of the film’s most memorable moments – the iconic “door test” scene.
In an Instagram post shared by Brancato, the actor revealed that fans can expect the episode to drop this Sunday. The post shows Brancato alongside Hicks as they appear to be filming the special segment focused on the classic scene from the 1993 film.
The Legacy Of ‘A Bronx Tale’
For those unfamiliar with the reference, “A Bronx Tale” is a critically acclaimed crime drama directed by Robert De Niro and based on Chazz Palminteri’s one-man show. The film follows a young Italian-American teenager named Calogero as he’s torn between the influence of his honest, working-class father (De Niro) and a charismatic local gangster named Sonny (Palminteri).
Brancato’s Career And Personal Journey
According to his Wikipedia page, Lillo Brancato Jr. was discovered by talent scouts after being spotted swimming at Jones Beach in Long Island. This led to his breakthrough role in “A Bronx Tale,” which launched his acting career. He later appeared in projects including “Renaissance Man” and “The Sopranos,” where he played Matthew Bevilaqua.
However, Brancato’s career took a dramatic turn when he was involved in a burglary attempt in 2005 that resulted in the death of an off-duty police officer. He was ultimately convicted of attempted burglary and sentenced to 10 years in prison, being released on parole in December 2013.
The Upcoming Episode
The reunion with Taral Hicks appears to be part of a series called “The Kulture Project,” which seems to feature interviews and discussions with various figures from entertainment. In another recent post, Brancato shared footage from what he described as a “lost pilot episode” featuring rapper Uncle Murda, suggesting the platform explores various aspects of entertainment and culture.
Reconnecting With Fans
This reunion comes as Brancato continues to rebuild his public presence through social media and various projects. His Instagram account features motivational quotes and reflections on personal growth, with recent posts including messages like “Stop waiting” and “If nothing changes, nothing changes” – indicating his focus on moving forward and making positive choices.
The special episode featuring the “door test” discussion with Taral Hicks represents an opportunity for fans of the cult classic to reconnect with two of its stars and gain new insights into one of the film’s most memorable scenes, three decades after its original release.
