The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and a former actor named Lillo Brancato hopes he can spread that story far and wide.
You might remember this young Yonkers man from the movie “Bronx Tale.” Lillo was just a young man at the time, yet he found himself working with the one and only Robert de Niro. A few years later, however, he was behind bars and charged as an accessory to the murder of a New York City Police officer. Lillo was heavily addicted to drugs and willing to do anything to get his hands on them. suffice it to say, he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and soon behind bars.
Lillo was released just a few years ago and today, he spends his time counseling other young men who are struggling with addiction or preparing to be released from prison and back into society. This is a great story of paying it forward.
