Armand Assante Crosses 'La Linea' In New Film
Actor Armand Assante stopped by the studio to talk about his role as Padre Antonio in the indie crime drama La Linea (The Line).
Set on the Mexican-American border, the movie centers on "Mexican drug lord Pelon has managed to escape the ire of the American government, but his decision to switch from cocaine from Colombia to heroin from Afghanistan attracts their attention. Numerous assassins come for the man's blood, but Pelon evades them all," says All Movie Guide. Assante's co-stars include Andy Garcia, Ray Liotta and Esai Morales.
Assante is a native New Yorker whose acting credits include ER, Navy NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service and American Gangster.
La Linea (The Line) is playing at the New York International Latino Film Festival. For tickets and showtimes, visit www.nylatinofilm.com.
