Topic: Tony Ferrino


  
  Tony Ferrino - Steve Coogan - www.coogans-run.co.uk - The man who thinks he's it.
Early indications suggested that Tony Ferrino was going to be Coogan's least successful venture since that corporate video he did for Ruffles in 1990.
This song was also performed on 1997's Comic Relief, with Ferrino accompanied by Bjork, but Wilde works rather better in the context of the programme, as she's the sort of slightly low-rent celebrity that you'd expect to see on this sort of thing.
Tony Ferrino was considered a flop by Coogan's standards, and despite further appearances with an equally high level of humour, the character never really became an Alan Partridge, a Paul Calf, or even a Duncan Thickett.

His show is a big variety night with a band, dancers and the whole stable of Coogan characters running amok.
There is not only the immortal Alan Partridge, but also that homage to his native Manchester, Paul and Pauline Calf, the less well-known Duncan Thickett, who is an incompetent comedian, and his Latin singer Tony Ferrino, who brought Coogan a rare taste of hostile criticism.
The tour has gone well with only one real low point, while he was on stage as Tony Ferrino.

 Interview from HOTSTARS - Steve Coogan News - www.coogans-run.co.uk - The man who thinks he's it.
I grew up in Manchester so I knew who Tony Wilson was because he was a local TV presenter before he got involved with Factory Records.
That was no accident Director Michael Wmterbottom wanted me to play Tony Wilson because he thought there were certain similarities, although Tony Wilson is not quite as grotesque a comic character as Alan Partridge.
I met Tony on the film set and we were wearing the same sort of clothes.

It came complete with meticulously crafted come-ons for the accompanying video, meticulously crafted archive of Tony's appearance as the Portuguese Eurovision laureate of the 1970s, meticulously crafted everything.
Fair enough, it was experimental, the work of somebody who has taken the comedy alter-ego as far as it can go and who would tell an interviewer - if only he ever gave interviews in person rather than in character - that he wants to see if he can do something new with the genre.
At the end of last year Ferrino brought out a cover version of an old Tom Jones number with a suitable fab-groovy video to go with it.

Ferrino, Tony - From the TV movie The Tony Ferrino Phenomenon (1997).
Lucille Bluth [Jessica Walter] (the mom) had taken George Michael [Michael Cera] (her grandson, Michael's [Jason Bateman] son) to a mother-son event in called "Motherboy." Normally, she would have gone with Buster [Tony Hale], her youngest son, but since his hand was bitten off by a seal, she wasn't comfortable around him.
Anyway, as Lucille and George Michael were checking in, they cut away to show the band and point out that they were legally obligated to make the distinction between the band and the event.

 Edinburgh 2004: An Audience With Dominguez
This spoof purports to be a comeback show by a Latin singing sensation from 1989, taking a look back over his career.
The idea didn't work when Steve Coogan tried it with Tony Ferrino but Coogan's failed attempt was 800 per cent better than this browned-up, browned-off and lazily misconceived non-character, neither good enough for drunken hen-nights nor to pander to xenophobes.
Dominguez, for no apparent reason, was born in El Salvador, which the performers seem to think is a happy, tranquil land of smiling, grease-ball Dagos somewhere near the Costa del Sol.

For Michael Winterbottom, the director of the Manchester punk-rock chronicle "24 Hour Party People," there was only one actor ó British television comic Steve Coogan ó who could play the central role of Factory Records entrepreneur Tony Wilson.
Like the flamboyant, ego-tripping Wilson, Coogan had grown up in Manchester, England, and watched the punk scene take off in the late 1970s; he had even co-hosted a show with Wilson in the early 1990s.
"I can't imagine that Tony wouldn't know he was in a movie, or that he wouldn't want to comment on it," he said.

Delivered in throaty Hispanic accents worthy of Tony Ferrino, Miller's production, which is lit, dressed, and choreographed with his usual panache, combines a sense of bunker-mentality oppressiveness with a dark and dry humour.
