I recently heard from SZoner<\/strong>, Slyguy<\/strong> who along with his kids had a chance meeting with Frank Stallone <\/strong>and Chuck Zito<\/strong>.\u00a0 Take it away Slyguy<\/strong>…<\/p>\n <\/span>Hi Craig –<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n As my daughter went to break a bill for our tip, she noticed and told me later a well dressed guy with suit and tie approached the table where C.Z.<\/strong> (Chuck Zito<\/strong>, not Craig Zablo<\/strong>) was seated and said “You’re in my reserved seat, pal!”.\u00a0 She ran over to actually inform me\/tell on the guy’s humor and I looked up to notice, it was the SZ’s <\/strong>loved Frank Stallone<\/strong>. I could only reply “ <\/strong>That’s Frank Stallone<\/strong>, who you just saw in the booth photo with Sly<\/strong>. You guys would probably like a picture with him too.”<\/p>\n Since we were already exiting, I decided to mention aloud (what I held back from saying to Zito<\/strong>, and now thought would be even better for Frank<\/strong> to hear)… my memory of Chuck Zito <\/strong>on youtube<\/strong> stating he planned to be in “The Expendables 2”<\/strong><\/em>. Before i could even request a photo with Frank<\/strong> and the kids, Chuck<\/strong> good naturedly motioned to Frank,<\/strong> “you got some admirers who’d like a photo with you”..very enthusiastically Frank<\/strong> stood up (when I had just planned to ask if the kids could lean in real quick) and stuck out his hand to shake mine, “You guys want a photo?\u00a0 How you doing this evening?”<\/p>\n I did in fact ask: “Hey, shouldn’t you both be reporting overseas to The Expendables 2<\/strong><\/em> set by now?” (Chuck Zito<\/strong> “chuck”led and said “ask his brother, ha ha”.) Frank<\/strong> turned back to him smiled, and then gave us a terrific photo with my children.<\/p>\n So this brings me to my appreciation for Chuck <\/strong>and Frank’s<\/strong> cordialness and warmheartedness with my kids, when thoughtful fans like us usually don’t want to disrupt their privacy with a photo request. Thanks guys! for being gentleman that with celebrity, my kids can respect and aspire to be as respectful as you.<\/p>\n As we drove away, I remembered a late 80’s ? something interview. \u00a0 I believe Frank Stallone, Don Swayze, Randy Quaid<\/strong> and other actor’s brothers were on Geraldo<\/strong>. (Patrick Swayze<\/strong> called in with ideas of a “Long Riders” <\/strong>remake with everybody) Don’t know if Frank<\/strong> recalls but I do..and what a re-make that would be with an awesome sibling accompanied cast with Frank & Sylvester Stallone<\/strong> as Frank and Jesse James<\/strong>.<\/p>\n +++++<\/p>\n Thanks to Slyguy<\/strong> for the great photos and report.\u00a0 Frank<\/strong> is always the best with fans.\u00a0 I’d also enjoy meeting Chuck Zito<\/strong>, so it’s nice to hear he’s good with fans as well.\u00a0 Love the western idea!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I recently heard from SZoner, Slyguy who along with his kids had a chance meeting with Frank Stallone and Chuck Zito.\u00a0 Take it away Slyguy… Hi Craig – Late October we got a ‘treat without a trick” for Halloween. \u00a0 We stopped by, on a whim, to Hollywood’s “Rainbow Bar & Grill” on the sunset […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[93,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-93","category-frank-stallone"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3r2Pe-13h","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stallonezone.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stallonezone.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stallonezone.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stallonezone.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stallonezone.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4047"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/stallonezone.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4047\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4049,"href":"https:\/\/stallonezone.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4047\/revisions\/4049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stallonezone.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stallonezone.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stallonezone.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stallonezone.com\/imgs\/news\/2011\/nov\/112011chuck_zito.png?resize=475%2C356\")
<\/p>\nLate October<\/strong> we got a ‘treat without a trick” for Halloween<\/strong>. \u00a0 We stopped by, on a whim, to Hollywood’s “Rainbow Bar & Grill”<\/strong> on the sunset strip<\/strong>.\u00a0 It’s known for the Rock N Roll<\/strong> crowd and 80% of pictures around the club and memoribillia are everyone from Van Halen<\/strong> to Motley Crue<\/strong>.\u00a0 Not usually the place I would take my younger kids, however people there are always polite, and usually there are celebrity comic actors there in person more than anyone else I’ve ran into.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span><\/div>\n As you’ll see one of the pics, I was surprised at a non-occupied booth, a picture of Sylvester<\/strong> and Frank<\/strong>. I believe I’ve seen this pose\/location before but not with Butkus<\/strong> included so I snapped a pic of a pic. Within 20minutes of that , famed bodyguard a tough guy socialite Chuck Zito<\/strong> (who recently completed a novel) showed up greeting people that sat at same table of ROCKY II <\/strong><\/em>era pic. Because my younger one’s were smitten at other’s smitten, I said I’d intro them to Chuck<\/strong> if they’d like.\u00a0 Zito<\/strong> is a terrific spirited guy. As the pic shows, he was pleased and almost got the kids in\u00a0a friendly headlock.<\/span><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stallonezone.com\/imgs\/news\/2011\/nov\/112011frank.png?resize=475%2C356\")
