A Bronx Tale's Lillo Brancato Addicted to Cr*ck & Years in Prison Leading to Sobriety

Описание: FTS sat down with Lillo Brancato, best known for his roles in A Bronx Tale and The Sopranos. Joining us from Yonkers, New York, Lillo opens up about his struggles with addiction, the choices that led to his high-profile burglary case, and the tragic events that resulted in the death of an off-duty police officer—landing him behind bars for years. He shares raw, unfiltered insights on how addiction took control of his life, what he learned during his time in prison, and how he fought to rebuild himself after hitting rock bottom. Now focused on using his story to inspire others, he discusses his journey to recovery, the lessons he’s gained, and what he’s working on today.
