Day 968

Julius R. Nasso, a movie producer best known for his work with Steven Seagal in the 1990s, opened this editing and post-production facility several months after his 2005 release from prison. He had been incarcerated for about 10 months for conspiring with members of the Gambino crime family to extort from Mr. Seagal — by way of "an old-fashioned mob shakedown in a dark Brooklyn restaurant" — hundreds of thousands of dollars that he claimed the actor owed him.

By the way, Mr. Nasso is now "grooming a new action star". His name is Tony Schiena, and he's "a former karate champion who has run international security operations and trained military and law enforcement personnel in hand-to-hand combat and escape techniques".
