Why hasn't he had a bigger career?
Inquiring minds want to know!
shareWhy not just look at his past output and put two and two together?
shareI did, and still don't understand how some hacks made it bigger than him..

don't know. not for lack of trying. for a while there he was all over the place. movie buiss is a crowded racket. think there was just too many big names scooping up the big roles ahead of him.
shareIDK. I thought he was pretty decent in the few films of his I've watched. I've seen him in Judge Dredd, The Odyssey, Gotti, & American Gangster. He was solid in all but I thought Judge Dredd and The Odyssey were his stand outs.
shareHe probably simply had no interest to be an A lister. He acts as a job. Not for celebrity I would think.
shareI remember him in "1492".
shareRemember him in 80's mini "Evergreen." Played Jewish very well.
shareIt's the name Armand Ass-Ante ? Sounds like a gay strip poker player. ;-)
sharePoor manβs Al Pacino, just like Ron Silver.
shareAl Pacino should have been replaced by something long ago. His acting has gone way over the top, and his looks are scraping the bottom. Assante has his little niche, and occasionally he hits a good part. As someone said he is more of a character actor, and maybe his type cast of gangster type has not been good for him because he is actually a better actor than that.
