Frank Vallelonga Played By Viggo Mortensen In Green Book (2018)
Green Book (2018) is inspired by the true story of touring jazz pianist Don Shirley and his driver and bodyguard Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga during troubled times in the Deep South.
The story behind Green Book is, of course, a politically and socially charged one, but it suitably depicted how a work relationship transformed into a friendship. After nearly a year of traveling together, the two went on to pursue other ventures. Vallelonga even started an acting career, appearing in the shows like The Sopranos.
If you have a chance, watch season 1 episode 1 “Shark Survivor”. It is one crazy survival story narrated by the survivors. You will not easily forget.
I shouldn't be Alive was a great show. There was even an episode about a sailor trying to make it across the Atlantic in a small boat that was overturned and he spent many days drifting at sea, surviving on solar still water and what he could catch until he was finally rescued around the Bahamas.
