Interpreting The Great American Songbook: Our Interview With Robert Davi

For those of us who grew up in the '80s there are certain roles that will stick with us forever. Today we're talking with Robert Davi, who's impressive resume includes movies such as The Goonies (Jake Fratelli), Die Hard (FBI Agent Big Johnson), and License To Kill (Franz Sanchez), the TV show Profiler, and over 100 other titles on IMDB. Now he's coming back to his first love, singing, and I caught up with him to talk about his debut album, why the American Songbook is important, and his favorite roles.

Tell me about the new album.
The album is called Davi Sings Sinatra: On The Road To Romance. It comes out Monday. I'm just terribly excited about it. It was produced by the legendary Phil Ramone, mixed by Al Schmitt, recorded by Danny Wallin, top of the field at Capitol Records when Sinatra recorded a lot of his music from '53 to '61, his Capitol years. Just a thrilling experience.

Singing was my first love. If you'd asked any of my family members, they would've said, "He's gonna be a singer." I studied opera in Florence, studied at Julliard, and here I am about to release my first record. I did my first film with Sinatra in 1977.

You expected to have a singing career and I heard you damaged your voice, then you shared the screen with Sinatra. Did it have an effect or shape your career?
In an Italian household, there are two figures: the Pope and Sinatra. And not necessarily in that order. He was already a figure because culturally and socially he was so relevant. He was one of the great figures of entertainment, a great actor and amazing singer. I already had a huge respect for him and the music, which I used to sing. Now you do your first picture with him, was just amazing.

Were you a little starstruck when you met him?
The first time was when I auditioned for the part. He also produced the picture. That was a roomful of people and I was more intent on communicating my ideas in the character at that moment. The second time was when we were on the set and I had already shot a couple scenes. He showed up on the set for the first time and I was in this big truck and he pointed to me and said, "[Saw] the shot the other day. It's terrific. You're terrific." And he remained a friend and was very friendly over the years.

The first time I saw him live was when he brought me to a concert in New York at Forest Hills while we were shooting Cherry Street. He brought six of us to the concert. That was an incredible experience. He was a marvelous voice that night. To see him perform in such exquisite vocal shape was an absolute tremendous experience.

Scary Creature Double Feature With Ving Rhames

Ving Rhames might best be known as Pulp Fiction's Marsellus Wallace, but over the past seven years he's wrestled with sharks (once), piranhas (twice), and zombies (thrice). So we had to ask him: who's the scariest?

You've battled zombies, sharks, and piranahas: which is the scariest foe?
I'd probably have to say piranhas. I made Piranha 2, oddly enough, that'll be coming out because they come more from the ocean as the unknown. I think the fact that something small could bite you once, you could say, "Oh, that's nothing." And then you're attacked by thousands of them. So piranhas.

Here's the trailer for the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse, which debuts on Saturday, October 29th at 9:00 PM ET on Syfy:



And here's the teaser for the upcoming Piranha 3DD:



Double the terror. Double the D's (snicker).

Thankfully, they didn't double the Hoff.
