In addition to Gotti<\/em>, Lofranco is known for his debut role as Conrad Hartman in the 2013 romantic comedy At Middleton<\/em> and the lead role of James Burn in the 2014 crime drama Jamesy Boy<\/em>. Lofranco also starred in Angelina Jolie<\/strong>\u2019s 2014 war drama, Unbroken<\/strong>, and the 2015 short Home<\/em>. His other credits include 2015\u2019s Dixieland<\/em> and 2016\u2019s King Cobra<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided I wanted to be an actor when I was 17,\u201d Lofranco told Interview<\/em><\/a> magazine in 2014. \u201cI was always a funny guy, always trying to make people laugh and always the center of attention. I guess I was being an actor my whole life. I finally realized what I was doing and it was just getting me in trouble. I went to summer acting classes. Then I did a year [of] conservatory at New York Film Academy and then that\u2019s when I got Jamesy Boy<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lofranco said getting to work with Jolie, 50, on Unbroken<\/em> was difficult to wrap his head around.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up, Angelina Jolie was my dream girl. Now I\u2019m going to shoot a movie with her. It\u2019s crazy,\u201d he said while laughing. \u201cI tell people and they\u2019re like, \u2018Yeah\u2026 OK.\u2019 They don\u2019t even believe me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe General Hospital \u201cfamily\u201d will not forget their late costar Johnny Wactor, who died last month. \u201cI do believe that it\u2019ll stay with all of us,\u201d Giovanni Mazza, who joined the soap opera in May as Gio Palmieri, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, June 7, at the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. \u201cI didn\u2019t [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He continued, \u201cI met these girls the other day, and they were like, \u2018You\u2019re not an actor,\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018OK \u2026\u2019 Then they start looking you up and all that stuff. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve got to get used to, I guess. Sometimes I\u2019ll say I\u2019m an artist, or I\u2019m a lawyer, or I\u2019m in school for engineering, because in L.A., everyone\u2019s an \u2018actor.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
