Steven Van Zandt, who performs Feb. 29 with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in St. Paul, plays music, acts and produces and writes films, TV shows, musicals and albums. A cast member of the hit 1999-2007 HBO show "The Sopranos," he's enamored of the 2015 movie "Legend," about real-life twin brothers who tried to control London's criminal underground in the 1960s.

Jon Bream

"Tom Hardy plays both Kray brothers. That is acting. The film could have used subtitles [because of thick Cockney accents]. That's why it failed."
