"It's such a great break for me that when Sidney gave it to me, I went home and cried. And it's funny, with my background, playing all these cops.

I was a cop in 'Once Upon a Time in a cop again in 'Repo a cop in 'Prince of the City. Now here I am a cop again. Good guy Herbie Greenbaum, a caring cop." Meanwhile, Foronjy has been writing, too. "In prison, I'd learned to listen," he says. "I knew everyone's stories, how they talked.

So I did a half-hour Hitchcock (television's "Alfred Hitchcock and CBS hired me to rewrite a screenplay by Budd Schulberg 'On the "He was a bit up-tight about it, I you gotta be a little somebody to; rattle the tree I want to tell them that in this country you got a shot.

If someone asks me about it, I tell them. After all, I've paid my dues. Otherwise, I just keep quiet." "The Morning After" is a murder-mystery in which Fonda plays the suspect and Foronjy plays "a good cop." "There aren't many of us in the film," Foronjy says.

When I finished that, I called Sidney and asked, 'What do I do He said, 'Go to California and get in front of the camera and learn your And that's what I did," Foronjy says. "It wasn't until much later we had dinner and he said, 'Tell me about you' and I told him everything." In California, Foronjy got roles in 100 television shows, 10 pilots and in films such as "True Confessions," "Repo Man," Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in America," "City Heat," "The Jerk" and Sidney Lumet's "Prince of the City" and, currently, Lumet's "The Morning After."

"I minded my own business for the next 18 months.

I just took care of Richie, and that's what I've been doin' ever since." After prison, Foronjy was watching Telly Savalas on television's "Kojak" when he decided, "Hey, I can do that," and started acting lessons at Manhattan's H.B. Studio.
