GINO: INSTANT UNDERWORLD

There wasn't a second to spare as Gino threw himself into his character, so strong that you had to check your internal model and verify that you were not watching someone connected.  Was this an associate or boss, or crumb?

For his composite I wanted to turn the tables on the man.  There is definitely a table.  And there are three in this conversation?  But what is he saying to himself?  We don't know if Gino is burning, buying, or calling in to get something special done.  There's maybe a third party off camera, but I don't think it's the commission.  That is, unless our shylock is on the carpet because the fix for featherbedding drew some heat. The joint is tense and it may just be a plan for a knock over.  One thing we know for sure, this is no rat.  Definitely a friend of ours.
