he may have some Irish - but i know somewhere he says someone, i think his mother, was Italian - b/c he translates some ex-New Yorker cops Italian --- (Davi speaks Italian!) --
hmmmmmm -- he was an expert knife fighter - (tres cool!) - (i like knives, btw)
hmmm - what else???
and yeah - his marriage might not have been the most stable environment -- we should probably be surprised it lasted as long as it did -- he left when Franny was like 12, i think -- so, they were married at least 12 years (assuming that Franny was born after they got married)
