In the search for top-quality comedy, there is truly only one short film to see that single-handedly represents the Italian streets of New York and it is the undisputedly hilarious short film: “Typecasted©.” The film demonstrates a complicated and comical series of internal connections to both the fictions and the reality of that popular Hollywood subject, the stereotype of Italians and the Mafia in film. Rated the 2006 “Best Short Film” at NYIFVF, the film marks the “unofficial official silver screen debut” for actors Frank Fata, Adam Piacente and RJ Harper. Through allusion and parody, “Typecasted©” practically hits on the whole history of the Italian stereotype in film, quite literally following the form through generations of Italian actors from Little Caesar through The Godfather to “The Sopranos” to “Meet the Gottis.”
