At 10 years of age, I had a paper route in my hometown of Engelwood, NJ. My route was only for the block I lived on, but some of my customers were Tony Bennett, Jerry Vale, Dizzy Gillespie, Leslie Gore, Sarah Vaughn and Tammy Tyrrel... I think I knew then that show business might be a great life for me.My
lovely blonde, Irish wife, Maureen and I have been happily married for 18 years. She greatly encouraged my desire to become an actor. I've been happily doing it now for eight years. I was born and raised in northern New Jersey back in the 50's. I was educated in Jesuit schools in Manhattan and studied film making at NYU. We have one son, Ryan, who runs a busy contracting business. Our chocolate lab, Bosco, loves wearing his Sopranos hat and usually falls asleep with it on. Maureen and I spend a couple of evenings each week at "Elaine's" on Second Avenue in Manhattan, usually with Dominic Chianese, Federico Castellucio, John Fiore (Gigi Cestone) and other
cast members. Elaine Kaufman, the famous saloonkeeper, is truly a great friend and a strong patron of actors. We also spend a lot of time in a wonderful family restaurant owned by our great friends, Gino and Lisa Pesce, called "Attilio's" in Denville, NJ. We and Federico sit for hours with our families eating their fabulous home cooking. I think the coziness of this old general store converted to a restaurant gives us inspiration in our writing projects. In any event, we love to talk to fans when we are there. |
