Tony Shalhoub Biography
Birth Name:
Anthony Marcus Shalhoub
Birth Place:
Green Bay, WI
Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign:
10/09/1953, Libra
Profession:
Actor; producer; director
Although this Yale-trained character actor never lacked for work, Shalhoub was almost 50 when the TV series
Monk
finally made him a star. Early in his career, he honed his craft on stage, forging important relationships with two of his theatrical costars: Stanley Tucci, who later cast him in a number of films, and Brooke Adams, who married Shalhoub in 1992. With his curly hair, dark complexion and knack for accents, Lebanese-American Shalhoub played myriad ethnic parts, including a romantically inclined Italian cabdriver on
Wings
, his first prominent role. During his tenure on the sitcom, he appeared as another Italian (a chef this time) in Tucci's 1996 gastronomic comedy
Big Night
. The flavorful indie was a hit with critics and audiences, and Shalhoub in particular was praised for his fiery performance, which led to a string of big-screen supporting parts. In 2002, when he signed on to
Monk
as a brilliant but obsessive-compulsive detective, Shalhoub probably had modest hopes for the cable crimedy. But the show was a breakout hit, earning him a Golden Globe and three Emmys, and finally turned him into a household name.
Tony Shalhoub Fast Facts:
One of ten children.
Was 6 when his sister volunteered him as an extra in a high-school production of
The King and I
.
Met future wife Brooke Adams while acting together on Broadway in Wendy Wasserstein's
The Heidi Chronicles
.
Made his TV debut in
The Equalizer
in 1986.
On his Emmy-winning role in
Monk
: "I spend so many more of my waking hours as Monk than I do as myself," he told TV GUIDE Online in 2002, "that I'm afraid a little of him is starting to rub off on me."
Directed and appeared in the 2002 feature
Made-Up
, which starred his wife and was written by his sister-in-law, Lynne Adams.
Frequently works with Stanley Tucci. The two met in 1989 while appearing together in the play
Moon Over Miami
at the Yale Repertory Theater. Tucci subsequently cast Shalhoub in
Big Night
(1996) and
The Imposters
(1998), both of which he directed. In turn, Shalhoub gave Tucci a guest spot on his series
Monk
in 2006.
