Please Enzo introduce yourself:

 

My name is Enzo Ashford Zelocchi. My grandparents and uncles on my father’s side raised me. The source of my inspiration and strength was my grandfather whom I lost too early in my life. I’m a solitary person. I travel a lot for work, in America and Europe, but I am based in Los Angeles. I believe in the value of life and family (despite never having a normal one myself). I believe in God and I am thankful for all the gifts he has given me. Although I’m reserved, I am open to every type of conversation. As for my craft, I’m determined to transform my dreams into media marketing strategy to actualize my projects, both of which I hope will take me far, artistically and commercially.

 

Work and sacrifices don’t scare me, so I devote most of my time and energy to the pursuit of my goals. Closing a deal is a mean for celebration. I enjoy being on set and the time I spend on my own writing. My only fear is to waste time so I prefer to stay focused on my targets. I sleep when I have the time; I’ll have infinite time for sleeping when I die. I avoid pathological liars, drama queens, ignorance (in general) and manipulative morons. I do not mind competition but it is envy, I cannot stand.

 

I love to be romantic and make love, although I’ve never had a true love affair because I’ve never had the time for it… and perhaps because I haven’t found the right one yet.

 

Now I have some questions for you:

 

1) Who do you admire?

“People who live with the power of ideas and makes things really happening”.

C) “It isn’t sufficient just to want – you’ve got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.” (Franklin D. Roosevelt)
D) “Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions”. (Dalai Lama)
E) “People often avoid making decisions out of fear of making a mistake. Actually, the failure to make decisions is one of life’s biggest mistakes.” Rabbi Noah Weinberg, 48 Ways To Wisdom,Way#4
F) “First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then YOU win.” – Gandhi ‘

“This require, starring in few good movies, hard work, a good entourage/Team work, a strong marketing strategy and some magic”.

 

7) What got you into films and acting?
“There is a lot to say about this question... but I think... the need to express myself, to show my visions, because I was always be able to see things far away and achieve my  targets due to sufferance and the sense of unhappiness I’ve accumulate inside, since I was a child. I learned that small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, and great minds discuss ideas”.

 

8 ) How was your life before your acting career?

“Everything! Women are a very big source of inspiration to me”.

 

12) What inspires you to make a movie?
“Ideas, dreams, other movies from people I admire, music, financial stability, life in general and happiness”.

 

13) I understand you are being considered for two major roles as a lead actor, which one give your career that boost to make you an A list celebrity?
“Yes, will see, I can’t really talk about it, but I’m still very quite, and always positive.

 

14) What is your favorite swear word?

actor? You have been also honored with 3 Times Best Actor and 2 times

“I was so happy and relieved and jumped all over my livingroom. I worked very hard
for over 3 years to achieve all these recognitions. I got over 32 white
hairs and I had basically zero private live for a good 4 years”.

gates?

“I had fun watching you from up here and I’m glad for what you did”.

 

Thank you Enzo.
