Nice to meet you.
My pleasure.
You always wear sunglasses.
Is that to hide your identity still?
Yeah, actually it's, I have to see, number one.
But where I reside now, my neighbors have no idea that they're living next to Donnie Brasco.
Well, you have a very distinct voice.
Yeah, I know.
I don't want to ask where you live, but, you know, what a wild life you've had, sir.
Well, pretty much, yeah.
Never expected to go like that, but it took off.
So when you first started working, it was with the FBI, correct?
Well, I was with Naval Intelligence for three years, and then I always wanted to be in law enforcement.
And I was working in Philadelphia, actually, and you do a lot of work with the FBI because, you know, on the government installations, government bases.
So I became friendly with some FBI agents, and I figured if I, you know, when I get up, when I finish this tour with NIS, I'm going to go into law enforcement.
So I might as well try for the best and the best, you know, the FBI.
And so how does that lead to you infiltrating the mob?
