His father (James Russo, Donnie Brasco, Public Enemies) is a paraplegic whose own dreams of happiness have faded away in an alcoholic haze. In as twisted attempt to find his purpose in life, Billy hatches a plot to seek vengeance on the man who allegedly crippled his father many years ago. However, he soon finds that things aren't always what they seem, as his mission for revenge may ultimately become one for his very own survival.
About Actor James Russo:
"Dreams and Shadows" is actor James Russo's 99th film in a career that spans over three decades. Russo received his first big break in the film "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982). Known for portraying gritty and intense characters, one only needs to be reminded of his sadistically sexual role in "Extremities" on stage (in which he won a 1983 Theatre World) and in the film (in which he terrorized Farrah Fawcett), to recall how chillingly effective he can be. Other roles in films include Kevin Costner's "The Postman" (1997) and "Open Range" (2003), plus "Beverly Hills Cop" (1984) and "We're No Angels" (1989). He's also appeared in several films with Johnny Depp including "Donnie Brasco" (1996), Roman Polanski's "The Ninth Gate" (1999) and the recently released "Public Enemies" directed by Michael Mann.
