This is the My Space home of John, “Cha Cha” Ciarcia, his Official web site is ChachaJohn.com. He later became better known as Cha Cha, because of the pronunciation, of his last name. From the beginning he was known all over the neighborhood. His passion for helping new immigrants out, whether it with finding housing or jobs, his caring passion eventually lead to his title as the “Unofficial Mayor of Little Italy”. Madison Square Garden announcer John Condon is credited for this. John's early career was as a promoter of boxers in the ring. Cha Cha is credited for the successful boxing career of Tony Danza, before he got into show business.


Cha Cha is also the original owner of the legendary boardwalk establishment, “Cha Cha's of Coney Island” the home of Wild Women and Wise Guys. His first club, The Atlantic, is where Jimmy Durante, Bob Hope and Al Capone got their start on the stage there. The Coney Island Polar Bear Club, made this establishment their home. Cha Cha expanded to the Island of Manhattan and opened his Mulberry Street restaurant, Cha Cha's in Bocca Al Lupo Outdoor Caffe'. His Gelato is considered the best in New York City 's five boroughs.


Over the years, John has been involved in a slew of other projects, most of which have been in film production. In 1998, he produced the movie “Mamamia” with director Tony Danza, which went on to win Best Short Film Award at the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival. The movie, “Men Lie”, which Cha Cha produced, won “The Grand Jury Award” at the Florida Film Festival in 1994. It garnished numerous film awards at the film festivals held in Houston , Charleston , South Carolina and Fort Lauderdale. This film featured shining and rising stars as Frank Vincent, Tony Sirico, Aida Turturro, Michael Baladucco, Michael Imperioli, Tony Darrow and Catherine Scorsese.


John Cha Cha Ciarcia stands on both sides of the camera. His transition from back to front was seamless. John has been featured in the Martin Scorsese film, “Goodfellas”, Mickey Blue Eyes, and more recently he can be seen in the upcoming movie, “Spy”. Cha Cha has also appeared on the small screen in “The Sopranos”, where he plays the character of Albie Cianflone, who is part of Phil Leotardo's New York Crew. He has also made an appearance on the Emmy nominated television series, “100 Centre Street”


Other movies include; “A Brooklyn State of Mind”, “It had to be you”, “Honeymoon in Vegas”, and “Me and the Mob”.

"THE INCREDIBLE BLEEDING MAN" TITLE ROLE:

I am looking for a local New Jersey guy in his early 20s to play the title role in one of the stories for my new cable access show.

The story is "The Incredible Bleeding Man" (a comedy) and the person will have to be OK with being covered in fake blood.

The guy should be an eccentric nutcase. Funny with a personality. UNCONVENTIONAL looking in any way might help. Around 6 feet tall and skinny and able to look insane and like a total mess, yet not intimidating. Maybe a WANNA-BE rock star type, but young enough to still be a bit naive/innocent and unaware what is going on around him. The role requires somebody who has a SPARK in his personality more than being a serious actor. He should have presence.

I am hoping that a singer in a rock band might have a weird funny nephew for the role. Somebody from an eccentric family!

There is no pay as cable access is free, but it will be shown all over NJ and in New York City. Copy will be provided.

Please email here if you are interested and fit the role:

cheapblood@hotmail.com
