Daniel Grimaldi: Actor, Scholar & Scientist

     Daniel Grimaldi was born in 1946 and is an American actor and mathematics professor who is best known for his roles as twins Philly and Patsy Parisi on the award winning HBO television series The Sopranos. 

     While researching this piece, I wasn’t sure if all the dates synched up over on the Forever Fordham site? If what I read was true, he started Fordham at an age when most of us were sophomores in high school. 

Entered Fordham University at 16 Years of Age

     “I attended Xaverian High School in Brooklyn.” The obviously very bright, ambitious  powerhouse explained, “I was sixteen when I graduated. I received several scholarships

(including) a full one to Fordham. Many of my classmates were going.”

     He was a Screen Actors Guild award winner, in 2008, for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series for The Sopranos. He opened up about his college experiences at the Rose Hill Bronx campus by saying: “I commuted by train. One hour and forty five minutes each way. In my sophomore and junior year a friend drove. But often I would have to take the train because our schedules did not jell. In senior year I used my father's car,” added the 5 foot-4 inch dedicated alumni. “My family couldn't afford the room & board. One of the few regrets I have in life is not living on campus.”

Don’t Go In The House!

     His first break came in 1979 as the star of the above titled independent horror film. It is described as “A young man who was driven mad by the death of his abusive mother now stalks young women with a flamethrower.” 

Note: I’ve watched, and yes it is as nasty as it sounds. If you are interested, here is the YouTube link-be careful: r. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxmz1vjCOk4&t=6s

Bell Laboratories Scientist

     Doctor Daniel Grimaldi went on to complete a Master of Science in Operations Research from NYU and a  PhD in Data Processing from City University of New York. That early IMDb.com credit above was in 1979. It sounded like those 13 years between might have been filled with working on your Master's degree and PhD? Turns out there was more to his development before being bit-by-the-acting-bug. 

     “Acting was not a thought. It just popped into my mind when I worked at Bell Labs as a member of technical staff in computer graphics.” I looked up archived copies of the University newspapers (The Ram) and did NOT see any productions that mentioned his name. It turns out he didn’t perform in any collegiate shows/plays. He added, “I went to study with Lee Strasberg (starting) in 1970.”

            (aveleyman.com)

Let’s Get To The Quote: “It won’t be cinematic.”

     For those who haven’t seen the episode, on The Sopranos, from all those years ago-let me set the scene. New Jersey Mob Boss Tony Soprano has one of his many adulterous love affairs. This time he meets Gloria. Who is pretty, a successful Mercedes Car sales rep and a bit of a world traveler. The two meet in the waiting of the mutual psychiatrist, accidentally due to a scheduling mix-up. After a point, Tony wants to end it. Gloria  not only wants to be part of the gangster’s life she even goes so far as to make contact with his wife. (Oh girlfriend, you can do so much better.)     

     He sends Patsy Parisi, our boy Dan-Class of ‘66-to scare her away while ostensibly test driving a car. Away from the protection of her suburban New Jersey dealership, he pulls over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GCQnTPF4_o

Note: Between now and posting of this article I can’t afford to have YouTube delete this one. So, basically he pulls out a gun and points it at her. Warns her to distance herself from Soprano and his family or she will be dead; by his hand. No ancient Greek tragedy or retired NFL Quarterback stuff for her to go on to the next world on.  

Got To Have A Side-Hustle

     I didn’t get a definitive answer, from the Assistant Professor Mathematics & Computer Science at Kingsborough Community College, in Brooklyn, when I asked if “It Won’t Be Cinematic”will be on your tombstone? But I did get a smile.

Can We Make It A Point to Carry His Name Forward?

      Here is a post from the 78 year old Fordham Alumni; His request on the Instagram Account where you can follow him too.

I’d like to think, deep down, my ability as a broadcaster means that I belong in any arena. And yet… I was asked to call two games today at the Public vs. Catholic Hoop Showdown at Westchester County Center in White Plains. There were four games total but I was on for the matchup between Scarsdale and Xaverian as well as James Monrow versus Christ the King. What pleased me — really, really,…

Needham vs Xaverian: How to watch MIAA D-I football state championship game

[amicidomenicani]

Frage Pater, ich bin ganz zufällig auf eure Website gekommen in einer Phase, wo ich das Gefühl habe, dass es wirklich an der Zeit ist, mich wieder Jesus zu nähern. Beim Suchen nach einer Art Leitfaden zur Gewissenserforschung für die Beichte bin ich auf Ihre Antworten gestoßen. Viele davon habe ich schon gelesen und darin viele Anregungen gefunden, aber ich habe auch gemerkt, dass ich noch viel weiter von Gott entfernt bin, als ich dachte. Nun hätte ich so viele Fragen zu stellen, weil ich das Gefühl habe, dass ich den Weg gehen muss, den der Herr mir gezeigt hat, aber noch bevor ich den Weg antrete, sehe ich ihn schon voller Hindernisse und es macht mir Angst, auch nur einen einzigen Schritt zu tun. Wenn Sie Geduld aufbringen, werde ich Ihnen etwas über mich erzählen. Als ich klein war, besuchte ich das Oratorium und gehörte zusammen mit meinen Freunden einer wunderbaren Pfarrgruppe an. Wir unternahmen alles gemeinsam, machten Ausflüge, gingen aus aber vor allem beteten wir, besuchten den Gottesdienst und machten geistliche Exerzitien. Ich habe sehr schöne Erinnerungen an diese Jahre. Dann haben wir uns aus verschiedenen Gründen aus den Augen verloren, manche sind umgezogen usw. Von da an ging ich nur noch in unregelmäßigen Abständen zur Messe und das Leben in der Gemeinschaft war nicht mehr wie früher. Kurzum, es fehlten mir die Freunde, die mit mir denselben Weg gingen und mich in schwierigen Momenten ermutigten und mitrissen. Dann habe ich meinen jetzigen Mann kennengelernt, wir haben geheiratet und nach der Hochzeit habe ich mich immer mehr vom Herrn entfernt und gehe nun schon lange nicht mehr zur Messe oder zur Beichte. In den letzten Monaten sind jedoch Ereignisse eingetreten, die mich nachdenklich gemacht haben und ich bin zu dem Ergebnis gekommen, dass in meinem Leben das “LEBEN”, also Jesus, fehlt. Und das ist nicht mehr länger gut. So ausgedrückt mag es einfach erscheinen. Ich gehe einfach beichten und nachdem ich mich mit Gott versöhnt habe, versuche ich, meinen Glauben wiederzufinden. So ist es aber nicht und stattdessen überfallen mich Zweifel, Reue und Scham… 1.  Mir wurde klar, dass ich einige Sünden beichten muss, deren ich mich fürchterlich schäme (Selbstbefriedigung, vorehelicher Sex…) und außerdem, zu wem sollte ich gehen, um sie zu bekennen? Bei meinem Dorfpfarrer wäre es mir zu sehr peinlich, in irgendeine fremde Kirche zu gehen und hinter einem Gitter zu beichten, macht mir noch mehr Angst, weil ich den Beichtvater nicht kenne und mir die Frage stelle, was er wohl von mir denken wird.  2. In der letzten Zeit habe ich Bücher gelesen und zu Gott gebetet, er möge mir die Kraft geben, Ihm zu folgen, den Mut des Glaubens, aber dann habe ich erfahren, dass das Gebet eines unreinen Herzens Gott nicht erreicht. Habe ich dann vergebens gebetet? Ich habe auch andächtig die Heilige Messe besucht, aber angesichts der Umstände, ohne zur Kommunion zu gehen, und kehrte dann auch immer gekräftigt und gestärkt vom Wort Gottes zurück. Seit ich dann allerdings las, dass Gott nicht in ein unreines Herz eindringt, befürchte ich, dass alles, was ich glaubte, es komme von Gott nur Einbildung war….. Diese Situation verunsichert mich sehr, denn obwohl ich einerseits weiß, was zu tun ist, um meine innere Ruhe zu finden, ist da andererseits diese Angst… 3. Ich bin über dreißig und habe 2 Kinder, die den Pfarrkindergarten besuchen, doch mein Mann will nichts von der Kirche und allem drumherum wissen, und das ist ein weiteres großes Hindernis für mich. Da ich für zu lange Zeit fern von Jesus war, habe ich auch keinen engen Kontakt mehr zu irgendeinem Pfarrer oder Missionar, um spirituellen Rat einholen zu können und mich führen zu lassen, und so schreibe ich nun Ihnen. Der einzige, zu dem ich noch Kontakt habe, ist ein Xaverianer-Missionar, der seit 10 Jahren in Afrika ist und der während meiner Jugend eine sehr wichtige Bezugsperson für mich war. Momentan ist er für den Urlaub in Italien und ich wünschte, ich hätte ihn um Rat gefragt, aber es hat sich nicht die Gelegenhei

t ergeben. Ich hätte ihm diesen Brief schreiben sollen, aber mir fehlte der Mut…… Ich danke Ihnen aus ganzem Herzen für Ihre Geduld und Aufmerksamkeit und bitte um ein Gebet. Antwort des Priesters Liebe Besucherin, 1. der Heilige Pfarrer von Ars pflegte zu sagen, dass der Beichtvater bereits mehr oder weniger die Sünden der Menschen kennt, die zur Beichte gehen. Von daher bin ich mir sicher, dass selbst wenn du zu deinem Pfarrer gehen würdest, er sich über nichts wundern würde. Wenn sich ein Mensch vom Herrn abwendet und sich jahrelang von den Sakramenten fernhält, ist es fatal, dass er vor allem in Sünden der Unreinheit verschiedener Art verfällt. Sehr oft sind es gerade diese Sünden, die einen Menschen vom Gebet und den Sakramenten entfremden. 2. Die Heilige Schrift ist in diesem Punkt eindeutig. Hier ist was der Heilige Petrus sagte: “Geliebte, da ihr Fremde und Gäste seid in dieser Welt, ermahne ich euch: Gebt den irdischen Begierden nicht nach, die gegen die Seele kämpfen!” (1 Pt 2,11). Auch der Heilige Paulus äußerte sich auf ähnliche Weise: “Denn das Trachten des Fleisches führt zum Tod, das Trachten des Geistes aber zu Leben und Frieden” (Rm 8,6). “Denn das Trachten des Fleisches ist Feindschaft gegen Gott; es unterwirft sich nämlich nicht dem Gesetz Gottes und kann es auch nicht. 8 Wer aber vom Fleisch bestimmt ist, kann Gott nicht gefallen” (Rm 8, 7-8). “Ich sage aber: Wandelt im Geist, dann werdet ihr das Begehren des Fleisches nicht erfüllen! Denn das Fleisch begehrt gegen den Geist, der Geist gegen das Fleisch, denn diese sind einander entgegengesetzt, damit ihr nicht tut, was ihr wollt” (Gal 5,16-17). 3. Es muss gesagt werden, dass das Wort Fleisch für Paulus nicht einfach Unreinheit oder Lust bedeutet. Zu den Werken des Fleisches gehören alle sündhafte Taten. Aber wenn er diese Sünden auflistet, erwähnt er zuerst jene, die die Sinnlichkeit betreffen: “Die Werke des Fleisches sind deutlich erkennbar: Unzucht, Unreinheit, Ausschweifung, Götzendienst, Zauberei, Feindschaften, Streit, Eifersucht, Jähzorn, Eigennutz, Spaltungen, Parteiungen, Neid, maßloses Trinken und Essen und Ähnliches mehr. Ich sage euch voraus, wie ich es früher vorausgesagt habe: Wer so etwas tut, wird das Reich Gottes nicht erben” (Gal 5,19-21). Alle diese Werke schließen uns aus dem Reich Gottes aus, nicht nur im ewigen Leben, sondern auch im irdischen, weil Gott nicht in eine von Sünde befleckte Seele eindringt. 4. Um zu dir zurückzukommen, wenn du es nicht über dich bringst, bei deinem Pfarrer zu beichten, kannst du zu einem Wallfahrtsort fahren. Wenn auch du den Priester dort nicht kennst, wird ihn der Herr inspirieren, dich mit Barmherzigkeit zu behandeln und die richtigen Worte für dich zu finden. Aber selbst sollte dies nicht geschehen, wirst du in jedem Fall von deinen Sünden freigesprochen. Du wirst augenblicklich innerlich geheilt, beginnst die persönliche Gegenwart Gottes wieder in dir zu spüren, du kannst die Heilige Kommunion für dich selbst, für deine Töchter und auch für deinen Mann empfangen. Und auch in deiner Familie wird sich vieles verändern: Jesus, der „die Auferstehung und das Leben ist”, wird als Licht in dein Leben kommen” (Joh 13, 25). 5. Du fragst mich, ob die Gebete, die du in Sünde verrichtet hast, umsonst waren. Gott hört auf alle, sogar auf die Sünder, wie es im Fall des Zöllners geschah, der hinten im Tempel stand, sich an die Brust schlug und betete: “Gott, sei mir Sünder gnädig!” (Lk 18,9-14). Gute Werke (dazu gehören auch die Gebete), die in Todsünde verrichtet werden, kommen uns zwar nicht für den übernatürlichen Verdienst im Hinblick auf das ewige Leben zugute, denn Jesus sagte: “wer nicht mit mir sammelt, der zerstreut” (Mt 12,30). Aber sie können vom Herrn auf tausend andere Arten Genüge getan werden, sogar mit der Gnade der Bekehrung, so wie es bei dir geschehen ist. Man kann sogar annehmen, dass Gott am Werk war, als du das Bedürfnis verspürtest

zu beten. Er inspirierte deinen Geist und bewegte dein Herz, genau wie es der Heilige Paulus beschreibt: “Denn Gott ist es, der in euch das Wollen und das Vollbringen bewirkt zu seinem Wohlgefallen” (Phil 2,13). 6. Also mach weiter. Der Herr erwartet dich, um dich im Sakrament der Vergebung und dann in allem Restlichen zu umarmen. Es freut mich, dass meine Antwort mit dem Vorabend des Festes Mariä Himmelfahrt zusammentrifft. Ihr, die mit Ihrer mütterlichen Zärtlichkeit zweifellos die Vermittlerin deiner Bekehrung war, vertraue ich dich und deine Familie an, im Gebet, das ich dir gerne versichere. In der Zwischenzeit segne ich euch herzlich. Pater Angelo

🏒 Reading's Whirlwind Season Comes to an End

Earlier today, Reading Memorial lost a hard fought battle against the Xaverian Brothers that needed to go into overtime to see the winner moving on to the TD Garden vs Pope Francis. Xaverian Brothers came out flying in the first period but Reading weathered the storm and eventually ended up with more shots on goal throughout the 3rd period. In the closing minutes of the 3rd period, the Rockets…

[bunnymcfoo]

Just for the record: JMac had 577 games under his belt before he had the stroke.

…. Oh, yeah, um. Soooo yeah, he had a TIA that ended his career. In case you’re new or new-ish, you may be interested to know the following lore about JMac:

He attended St John's Prep for high school which is “A Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School for young men in grades 6 through 12" (so yeah he's super Irish Diaspora Catholic) and was the captain of both the hockey and football teams his senior year. The school added him to their Hall of Fame in 2014 and there's a video of his speech accepting that honor HERE (skip to 1:08:00)

He played at Boston University for 4 years, graduating in 2009 with a degree in Economics and as a member of the Scarlet Key Honor Society. He also won the John B Simpson award, and was on the Hockey East All Academic Team for 3 years. He wore the C his senior year and led the Terriers to a victory in the Beanpot (photo with trophy) and winning the freaking Natty in the most epic and dramatic way possible - and seriously, go watch that it's an incredible 6 minues wtih an epic comeback and overtime win. (photo with trophy team photo with the trophy and photo at the parade please look at what a baby he was). Also, guys, he played with David Warsofsky who is, in fact, Ryan Warsofsky's younger brother.

Was drafted by the Sharks at the 2006 draft in the 7th round, 202nd overall. That was the same draft class as Brad Marchand, Claude Giroux, James Reimer, Phill Kessel, and Erik Johnson. Played 88 games with the Sharks between 2009 and 2015.

Played for Team USA at the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang. They finished 4th behind the Russians, Germans, and losing Bronze to Canada. Fuckin' Canada, I swear to god. At least the US Women's team beat Canada and got gold that year (it was a fucking awesome game, you should go watch it.) Anyway, there's a cute lil article/interview about him going from his high school's newspaper over HERE.

Played 577 games in the AHL, all but 25 of them with the Sharks' affiliate. Wore the C in 2012-2013 for the Worcester Sharks and then for the San Jose Barracuda from 2016 to 2020 and had 233 penalty minutes. If you wanna see his fights you can find those HERE.

It's completely wild to me but he played on the same team as Timo Meier, Barclay Goodrow, Kevin Labanc, and Jake Middleton. Actually he played with Middsy for, like, 5 years. Like, he was their captain.

YOU GUYS, HE PLAYED WITH AARON DELL FOR NOT ONE BUT TWO SEASONS

Also, I cannot emphasize this enough: go look at the 19-20 roster. Yeah. It's so weird to look at the guys on that team and realize that he played with them and coached them that year BECAUSE:

He had a transient ischemic attack (aka a TIA, basically a stroke) on December 10th, 2019 at the age of 33. He played his last game on December somethingth, officially retired from hockey on December 27th, and was hired as an Assistant Coach the next day. HERE is an article/interview about it in (once again, his high school paper). HERE is the highlight video that the Cuda made for him. Oh, and he obviously won the Fred T Hunt Memorial Award that year.

also, he volunteered for an ALS fundraiser for, like, 6 years and I think that's nifty.

Thank you for coming to my presentation on John McCarthy, head coach of the San Jose Barracuda since May 18 2022 when he succeeded Roy Sommer to the throne i mean position (Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!)

I appreciate your time as I may have gotten a little bit carried away. Whoops. >.>

nolly just said poturalski is after this game 5 games short of 500 games in the AHL which is. insane. can we all appreciate that, that's an insane number of games to play in the ahl and not had to have every tooth in your mouth replaced. anyway i got curious who has the most games played in the ahl as an active player and it's cal o'reilly of the milwaukee admirals with 976. NINE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX. i guess now with our beloathed flohockey i could see if the man still has kneecaps or teeth. 976 games in the ahl is unreal.

also in the top 100 list of games played is former barracuda captain andrew agozzino 🥰🥰 760 games! no wonder he was done with the cuda after one season. i wouldn't have any patience left for jmac if i'd played upwards of 600 ahl games at that point in my career either.
