When Keith Kelly and I were in Los Angeles for the AMA's, we had the chance to speak to a young actor named C.J. Valleroy.  He plays a young Louis Zamperini, an Olean native who is the subject of the most Oscar-buzzed-about film of the winter movie season.  'Unbroken' opens Christmas Day and is directed by Angelina Jolie.

 

 

The life story of this incredible man follows him from being a troubled (and trouble-making) young man, becoming a WWII POW, battling alcoholism, and going on to become an Olympic gold medalist and inspirational speaker.

I, for one, can't WAIT to see this film.  Will you join me?

 

Here's a lovely piece WGRZ did on Mr. Zamperini following his death in July of this year.  Angelina Jolie had the opportunity to show the movie to the 97 year old, just days before his death.
