Long time Bay Ridge political activist finds productive film career
Move over ‘Godfather,’ now comes Sister Kathleen and the Don
BAY RIDGE — A local political powerhouse is now making his mark in a totally different field of endeavor.
Ralph Perfetto, who was a Bay Ridge Democratic district leader for nearly two decades, has spent the past 15 years amassing film credits – a whopping 53, according to IMDB – and now is branching out again, producing and acting in a TV pilot from a script he himself wrote.
Filming for the microbudget pilot, the first episode of “Sister Kathleen and the Don,” just wrapped up after taking place at a series of local spots – including St. Andrew’s Church on Ridge Boulevard in Bay Ridge, which stands in for the fictional church of St. Alfonso’s.
