Show Notes
July 5th, 1992 and Lillo Brancato is a young man on Jones Beach. He is seen by a casting agent and ends up being cast in "A Bronx Tale" as Robert DeNiro's son. After being introduced to marijuana on set by a fellow cast member, he began experimenting with more and more drugs to become a heroin addict. Now, after spending 8 years in prison for robbery which resulted in the wrongful death of a police officer, he is sober and is warning youth and others about the dangers of addiction. From the height of success to the depth of disaster, this story is riveting.
