Vinny Gallo Can Quit Man Whoring


Deuce Bigalow can have the man whore field back to himself now as Vinny Gallo has actually found work as an actor, and in a Francis Ford Coppola film at that. To make sure Vinny was right for the part, Francis watched Brown Bunny repeatedly, and decided that he just had to have Vinny. For the movie of course. Vinny probably got back into acting after realizing that the man whore business is just not what one thinks it is going to be.

The film is Tetro which is going to start shooting next month. Tetro to me is just screaming bad luck. First they had that robbery or burglary a few months ago, and now someone thought casting Vinny opposite Javier Bardem was a good idea.

I just get this Twilight Zone kind of feel about this movie. Gallo will play the title character, a brother in a family torn apart by rivalries and betrayal. Newcomer Alden Ehrenreich plays the younger brother who searches for him in the Argentinean capital. Bardem plays a local literary critic, and Maribel Verdu plays Tetro's longtime love interest.

This is going to be one big effing disaster. Hope the paycheck is worth it for everyone.

  1. Bardem is not the lead, but Vincent Gallo is?? Has FFC lost his mind as well as his screenplay. I hope Javier jumps ship, this stinks already.

    Is this a hint to something you are trying to tell us?

  5. Vinny Gallo in a mainstream movie? Is it possible he's giving up his apartment on Mars?
