Sergio Di Zio | Flashpoint's "Spike", The Queen's Gambit Dad, Being Comfortable
Sergio Di Zio. What don’t we talk about here? Sergio brings us through the moment where the “pope” declared that he become an actor at age 18. We hear about a once painfully shy kid who uses audacity, the monster at the end of the book and letting go of story to carve through the universe and to be delightfully entangled within it. We talk destroying and building lives. We talk piercing words of a loving father raking leaves. We talk Brando and his cat and we talk Jeff Daniels and his empathic laugh. We talk Elisa. And we talk love as home.
