Chazz Palminteri
Calogero "Chazz" Palminteri (born May 15, 1952) is an American actor, screenwriter and producer, best known for his Academy Award-nominated role for Best Supporting Actor in Bullets over Broadway.
Early life
Palminteri's surname is of Sicilian origin and his family is originally from Menfi in the province of Agrigento, Sicily. His grandparents, Calogero Palminteri and Rosa Bonfante, married in 1908 and moved to the United States in 1910. Palminteri was born on May 15, 1952, in the Bronx, the son of Rose, a homemaker, and Lorenzo Palminteri, a bus driver. He was raised in the Belmont neighborhood of the Bronx.
He struggled to become a star, splitting his time between acting in off-Broadway plays and moonlighting as a bouncer, alongside Dolph Lundgren. His big break came in 1988 with the premiere of his autobiographical one-man show, A Bronx Tale, which he wrote after being fired from a club for refusing entry to super agent Swifty Lazar;Robert De Niro later developed and directed a film version (1993).

Boomerang
by: Shwayze[Chorus]I come and go like a boomerang,
Set me free and ill come back again.
To and fro like a freight train,
Stop and lend yo time again.
Verse 1
I'm dark in a place,
stuck in outer space,
talkin to my friends they dont know what i say.
I'm in the ocean duck divin the waves,
I'm on a mountain been climbin for days.
"The top of the world is just up the way",
said the blind man wavin the sage.
Chapter 5, 29th page
Time ain't the only thing movin today.
I gotta go, gotta get away,
Let the sunset just set away.
On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
some girl in a dress will say,
"Please don't leave me" [x2]
[chorus]
Verse 2
Stop and go, is this rock and roll?
Soul brotha on the yellow brick road.
Dressed up ready to go,
with my hair messed up in some regular clothes.
Guess what, i'm strikin a pose,
you could make a statue i suppose.
Lights, camera, then i froze,
Thoughts of you and my head arose.
She loves me like a pedal on a rose,
I love alot, last pedal on the floor.
On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
some girl in a dress will say,
"Please don't leave me" [x2]
[chorus]
woah oh, oh, oh, ooh
Verse 3
Believe me this time i'm leavin,
for a little bit longer than a weekend.
And when you see me ill be rockin,
on yo tv, i know your watchin.
And ill be thinking of you often,
put the top down and see a rose blossom.
On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
some girl in a dress will say,
"Please don't leave me" [x2]
