Hollywood Producer Franco Porporino Jr. is in development to tell the life story of the former NYPD Commissioner Bernard “Bernie” Kerik, RadarOnline.com exclusively learned.
Porporino, an executive producer of American Chopper, told RadarOnline.com that Kerik’s personal history is “a story that needs to be told. Bernie’s heroism, courage, dedication, and service to this country far surpasses any mistakes he has made.”
Porporino told RadarOnline.com he optioned both of Kerik’s best-selling novels, The Lost Son: A Life in Pursuit of Justice and From Jailer to Jailed: My Journey from Correction and Police Commissioner to Inmate 84888-054.
“The world is going to finally get to see an in-depth look about who Bernie Kerik really is,” Porporino explained to RadarOnline.com about the project.

serving in that capacity during the 9/11 attacks, people want to know his story,” Porporino told RadarOnline.com.
