Just heard the sad news of Mr. DiGiaimo's passing. I did not know him personally, but he did give me my very first professional gig in 1978 as Peter Falk's standin/photo double on Bill Friedkin's 'The Brinks Job'. I was only 18 yrs old with zero film experience, yet he offered me the wonderful opportunity of over 3 months' work on a big budget feature (and the invaluable education it provided me). I've since met many fine casting folk, but Lou DiGiaimo was the guy who set the bar high for those who would follow. Although our interaction was long ago and quite brief, I will always remember him with fondness and gratitude.
