Will the real Mike Porco please stand up
To tell the truth, one of these men must speak it in A COMPLETE UNKNWN with a believable Italian accent
🍺One of these thespians will probably prove to have-a role serving up the sandwiches and vino from behind the bar of Gerde’s to Bob and Suze in the Dylan bio-pic A COMPLETE UNKNOWN 👇🏽

👆🏼REAL MIKE PORCO with Cisco Houston, 1961
🎬 The IMDB entry for the upcoming film has all the actors listed. Some actors do not have their role exposed.
🤌🏼My money says that Mike Porco will have a presence in the film. WHICH ACTOR CAN PULL IT OFF?
(I’m betting on this Basche guy)

✅ It’s a trick question because NO ONE can capture the soft-spoken yet BADASS nature of El Capitán of Folk City.
🎬 Some portrayed roles in the MOVIE have been divulged so far such as producer Tom Wilson, “Gena Russo” (likely Carla Rotolo), Mavis Staples and Maria Muldaur amongst others from the actual SCENE.
Some actors on the site have a blank space after their names. Only one can be handsome enough to portray THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE, MIKE PORCO.
🕰 Time will tell who is who and how much they contribute to the film.
Gerde’s Folk City and Mike Porco’s contributions can’t be squeezed into a 90 minute film.
Lucky for you,
🪡🧵I’ve sewn together a solid story for any viewer to watch and catch the drift.
THIS DOC is the FULL untold story as told from multiple people directly connected to Mike Porco and the Greenwich Village SCENE. A complete stranger and the most staunch Folk Revival student will be wowed.🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
TWENTY THREE INTERVIEWEES made it happen.
🎥So many greats went on camera with their memories. The documentary is about two main characters, if you will. That would be MIKE PORCO and the MOTHERSHIP, GERDE’S FOLK CITY.
For reasons that you’ll learn in the movie, TWO other main figures were spoken about.
The two OTHER main characters on everyone’s lips were Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs.
Please help spread Mike Porco’s story to music lovers far and wide🌎🌎🌎

The Gerde’s Folk City documentary is called POSITIVELY PORCO.
If you have any interest in the music spawned in the restaurant, you will want to see it. Basically, the American singer/songwriter genre has its roots planted at Gerde's.
