ARTIST’S HOUSE: The best moment in your career?

DOMINICK MANCINO: I have been very lucky and grateful to have been on set, and to have worked with so many great actors, but the one that comes to mind was when I was filming American Gangster. We had just finished filming a scene, and the director, Ridley Scott, came over to me with Denzil Washington and Russel Crow, and said to me, “I like what you’re doing.”, and my answer to him was, “It’s all in the direction.”... Which of course made him smile, prompted a thumbs up from Denzil, and an “okay” sign from Russel... Later on, Mr. Scott came over to me and we had a nice conversation about cigars...
