Who is Tony Longo? Although limited to small appearances in movies, Tony is an axiom of Hollywood action films: he’s the silent giant, the bad guy’s bodyguard who has a soft heart that makes him too kind for the job. With three parts – "Hey Asshole!", "Adam Kesher" and "You Fucking Dickhead!" – this trilogy show us the best and most charismatic scenes with the actor: "The Takeover" (Troy Cook, 1995) "Living in Peril" (Jack Ersgard , 1997) and "Mulholland Dr." (David Lynch, 2001). Tony Longo is not a famous or recognizable actor, and Thom Andersen plays with that fact by giving a face to the name that is unknown to us. (Sérgio Gomes)
