Tomas Milian: Acting on Instinct (2013)

TOMAS MILIAN: ACTING ON INSTINCT - A graduate of New York City's legendary Actors Studio, the Cuban born Milian developed a very popular following through his acting in Italian Westerns (Tepepa, Companeros) and Polizios (Emergency Squad, Cop in Blue Jeans) throughout the 60s and 70s. In more recent years he co-starred in films like Steven Soderbergh's Traffic (2000) and Andy Garcia's The Lost City (2005). He is a precursor to modern actors who use free improvisation and unusual inspirations to create the characters they become. Milian is very much an unsung hero of his generation's cinema that needs more appreciation. Thanks to this release, fans can see him talk about his life as a actor, the special points of view on his art with the same heartfelt exuberance he brought to all his films.
