Joe Spinell was an American character actor, mostly unknown, who appeared in “The Godfather”, “The Godfather Part II”, “Rocky”, “Taxi Driver”, “Sorcerer” and “Cruising”. He led a very strange, grungy life and, according to Jeff Sneider, that seems to have interested Quentin Tarantino enough to include him as a character in his upcoming “The Movie Critic.”
Edward Berger seems to have settled on what comes next. His Lance Armstrong biopic, starring Austin Butler, is now holding casting calls, with production eyed for January.
