History tackles the true story of undercover informant Charles Falco
By Cassie Dresch TV Media
I t’s a story right out of Hollywood. A man, fully immersed in the drug culture of Southern California, deals methamphetamine to the tune of more than $500,000 a year. The only direction he’s headed is straight to the pen, especially after he’s caught in a raid by the Drug Enforcement Agency. Except, the DEA gives him a choice: go to prison for 22 years with no chance of parole or become an undercover informant.
While it may seem almost too good to be true, there’s no denying that this story did, in fact, take place. The born-again informant is none other than Charles Falco, a burly man whose exploits as an undercover operator for the DEA and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in three of the most notoriously dangerous biker gangs in SoCal are the stuff of legends.
In 2013, Falco published a memoir detailing his rise as an undercover agent titled “Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws: My Infiltration of America’s Deadliest Biker Gangs.” Now, History has created a six-episode fact-based drama that draws its material from the book and Falco himself, and offers viewers a look inside the life of this zero-turned-hero of sorts. With only one episode left, it’s time to hunker down as “Gangland Undercover” brings the chills and the thrills when the season finale airs Tuesday, March 31, on History.
Falco is a fascinating man. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he saw his life take a turn for the worse that landed him at rock bottom. After being contracted by the ATF to infiltrate the Vagos in 2003 (and later the Mongols and Outlaws), he quickly rose through the ranks of the biker gangs and gathered evidence that led to 62 total arrests. Now, due to the nature of his past efforts, Falco is in the witness protection program. This, however, doesn’t stop him from actively being involved in telling his story — spearheading “Gangland,” writing for the show and even appearing before each episode.
“Right from the start, he was available to me,” “Gangland’s” star Damon Runyan (“One Starry Christmas,” 2014) told TV Media.
“In preparation for the role, I could contact him at any point. When we were doing the exterior shots in Arizona, he came down and he was accessible to all of us. I still talk to him pretty much on a daily basis now.”
Paulino Nunes (“The Firm,” “Bitten”) — who plays Schizo, the primary antagonist in “Gangland” and the Vagos president — says that he first met the real-life Falco when they were shooting in Arizona and was struck by how cool he was.
“He’s a really super nice guy,” he said in the same interview with TV Media. “I know that sounds like a kind of banal thing to say, but ... it’s not necessarily what you’d expect. It was really cool meeting him, and it was hard to reconcile the guy you were meeting with the guy in the book and the guy who did all that stuff.”
“All that stuff” being some truly horrific and gruesome acts he had to witness and commit, including beating up rivals, watching Vagos bikers kill rivals and civilians, selling drugs and even going to prison for an assault committed by an-
other Vago, where he had to suffer through solitary confinement in order to avoid blowing his cover.
But through it all, Falco remained unwavering in his newfound pursuit of justice. He was given a second shot at life, and he took it. His intelligence shone through with each day that he went deeper undercover, and it’s something that was not lost on Nunes or Runyan as they acted out his story.
“He’s a keen observer of human nature, and he had to be to do what he did,” Nunes said. “It was pretty apparent that this was a guy who, if his circumstances had been different, could have done something very different with his life. As it turned out, because of the bad choices that he made early on, this was kind of his shot at redemption, going into the situation and taking these guys down.”
“His intelligence is the thing that kept him alive and also was able to allow him to get so deep,” Runyan added, “and not only do one gang, but three gangs.”
These days, Falco has put his active undercover work behind him. He’s since earned a graduate degree in criminal justice and works as an instructor for a national law enforcement training institute, not
to mention adding “Gangland” to his resumé. Of course, for him, there’ll always be a nagging fear for his safety.
“I think you always have to fear for your safety,” Falco said in an interview with “Los Angeles Magazin tion program ID that I use. I don’t hang out in bars. I don’t live in an area where any of these groups live. You’ve got to always look over your back.”

Late Laughs
Conan: Conan O’Brien
A man posted a YouTube video of himself taping Mentos to his entire body and then jumping into a bath of Coke Zero. So it’s been another productive week for Joe Biden.
Leonard Nimoy passed away, which is very sad, very sad news. To honor Leonard
Nimoy, this is interesting, Canadians have been sketching Spock’s eyebrows, hair and ears onto their $5 bill all across Canada. As a result, Canadians will now be called Canerdians.

Happy birthday to Justin Bieber, who, yesterday, turned 21 years old. Which means he
can now be tried as an adult.
Justin Bieber is now officially the only person over 21 who is still into Justin Bieber.
The cold is the work of what the Weather Channel has dubbed “Winter Storm Thor.” Which means Marvel really picked the right time to release that new “Avengers” trailer. They say if Thor gets any stronger, it could be upgraded to a Thor’Easter.

Do you know what show I love?
“Shark Tank” on ABC. Hopeful entrepreneurs pitching their innovative ideas and products in front of a group of investors, then reaping their just rewards if they’ve got what it takes? That’s the American dream right there on full display.
It’s not an uncommon site for culinary entrepreneurs to feed the sharks their tasty morsels, and with so many great food ideas out there, it really was only a matter of time before a similar show popped up with a focus on food.
Make no mistake, this is no criticism, nor is “Food Fortunes” a ripoff of “Shark Tank.” The new Food Network show premiered a few weeks ago and has been airing on Mondays, and it’s definitely its own distinct beast.
Culinary entrepreneurs looking for investment dollars are brought before both a panel of food industry titans and a live audience. Why the audience? Well, so that they can test out the product, of course! It’s instant feedback from consumers, the kind of instant data that the investors love to have on hand.
From an American take on Indian food to a robotic personal chef, the
pitches range from comfort foods to uncomfortable head scratchers. The investors, though, have a history of success, and they’re pretty good at knowing where to park their own food fortunes.
So who are these investors? The panel rotates from episode to episode, but it includes Robert Earl (Planet Hollywood’s founder and CEO and host of “Robert Earl’s Be My Guest”), Willie Degal (“Restau-
rant Stakeout”), Scott Gerber (CEO of the Gerber Group) and Dan Glickberg (the founder of Dan Glickberg Food).
And that’s not all. Some of the other investors include international culinary expert Daniel Green; the founder of online service Taste Savant, Sonia Kapadia; and Pat LaFrieda, star of “Meat Men.”
Of course, not every hopeful is going to walk away with a big investment, but for those with the best ideas, a real food fortune awaits. If you haven’t already, check out “Food Fortunes,” airing Monday nights on the Food Network.
