He's by far the best looking gangster around... ok so maybe he's not a 'real' gangster but there's some bad guy blood that's running thru his veins.

His name is Chris Capone and he's the grandson of Al Capone. Chris wrote a great memoir which is called 'Son of Scarface' (website), a story which follows Chris and his plight in finding out the truth about his father. After his father died when Chris was but 13 years old found, the revelation that his father just might be the son of Al Capone has Chris investigating into his father's past... and the things he discovers about his father had him questioning if it was the same man he came to call dad.

It's a fascinating book, so much so that I wrote a whole article about it. Read the article here which includes over 50 excellent photos that Chris has sent me. Altho Chris is nothing like his grandfather, he did inherit his striking Bearish good looks.

Chris also runs his own site which he's been updating all the time ~ ChrisCapone.com (one which will be completely revamped soon). And we should be hearing and seeing more of Chris as I heard he's planning to do some TV show and he's also working on his own memoirs which will be out in '10.

Put on your headphones and enjoy the latest BearPodCast (website - articles) hosted by Nard (profile) and his Bearish buddy Ray (profile).

In this episode (#215 - listen here ~ right-click to save), they get to interview Chris Knight Capone (blog - article), the Bearish grandson of Al Capone. They talk about his book 'Son of Scarface' (website). It's a fun interview and Chris is this seriously handsome Bear ~ and they even mention in the show that Chris resembles Al Capone, especially when he wears a fedora and suit.

Some other things to note are that Chris is opening up a new site soon - ChrisCapone.com - and that there is a documentary movie coming out that focuses on Chris and interviews with people who knew his father, the son of Capone, as well as Capone himself. It's all there in the podcast.
