New role for actor-writer: Call-in host

Posted: October 06, 2012

In his autobiographical movie and subsequent play, A Bronx Tale, Chazz Palminteri doles out lots of advice as a young man learns from two father figures.

Now the writer-actor-director is taking his advice skills to the airwaves with Ask Chazz, a four-week series of live, call-in shows on SiriusXM Radio, where callers will get Palminteri's thoughts on a variety of topics, including the entertainment business and relationships. "It's like life lessons told in a street-savvy way," the actor said. "People say I have my own Chazz-isms. That's why I started the website."

The online advice site caught the attention of SiriusXM president Scott Greenstein, who suggested Palminteri try his hand at a live call-in show. It airs every Wednesday in October.
