Armand Assante was recently honored by the New York Latino Film Festival, he's giving his take on his latest role in James Cotton’s new film The Line. “The Line is historically and in the present a title that was given for the drug trade between Mexico and the United States, ‘La Linea,’ ” Assante told Uinterview exclusively. The Line is the featured film in the Maya Inaugural Indie Film Series sponsored by Blockbuster, which is expanding to select cities in the coming weeks.
A New Yorker by birth, Assante’s career first began as a cast member in two NBC soap operas. His first film was Lords of Flatbush (1974), but he gained the most attention for the hit Private Benjamin (1980), as the charming French doctor Henri Tremont.
Assante has been a strong advocate for Latino film in Hollywood. “Politically, it’s extremely important that Latin America is heard about,” he told Uinterview. “The population of Spanish speaking people is enormous, and there is no doubt that their time has come.”
