THE FAN (1996)

Picture
Now introducing the S.F. Giants most loyal fan Gil Renard. Gil (played by Robert DeNiro) a cutlery salesman by trade and full-time passionate fan who cares more for the team than he does his job, child, ex-wife, friends, and his own sanity.  

His high expectations for players are unobtainable, especially for newcomer Bobby Rayburn (Wesley Snipes) who runs into some bad luck during his first game.  Rare opening day tickets became Gil's entry to his downward slide to losing his job, abandoning his child, and having his ex-wife chew his ass out!  

As the season progresses and nothing to personally loose, Gil finds a way to help Bobby and the team standings. Superb direction from Tony Scott makes this realistic film a must see with a homerun ending.    
Review by Hollywood Harv from HollywoodMovieJerseys.com 

A word from: Michael Andolini, "Man Behind Gil" ~ THE FAN, a Tony Scott Film  "This Was my first time working in an A' list film, and first of 3 times working with Director Tony Scott. Ellen Lewis was the casting director who brought me to Tony's attention and the role. Will always be Grateful to Ellen and Tony for the opportunity. Have re-started my acting career, and looking forward to many more roles - 'Man Behind Gil', Michael Andolini www.sagaftra.org/iactor/michaelandolini "
