Stanley Tucci Biography
Birth Name:
Stanley Oliver Tucci
Birth Place:
Peekskill, NY
Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign:
11/11/1960, Scorpio
Profession:
Actor; director; screenwriter
With his swarthy Italian looks and ever-receding hairline, this formidable character actor was initially stereotyped as a small-screen bad guy, with recurring roles on
Miami Vice
and
Wiseguy
offering him lots of exposure but little challenge. Stage-trained and extremely versatile, Tucci spent a decade building up his résumé with myriad villainous turns, before essaying his breakthrough role as a '50s restaurateur in
Big Night
. A labor of love, Tucci cowrote the film with his cousin, Joseph Tropiano, codirected it with childhood friend Campbell Scott, cast his good friend Tony Shalhoub as his brother, and even gave his real-life sister Christine Tucci a part. The risk paid off with immense critical and modest commercial success, and Tucci was suddenly in demand. Alternating seamlessly between blockbusters and indies, comedies and dramas, the small and the big screen, he turned in a slew of impressive performances. Although he was no longer typecast as Italian or a villain, he never played straight-up heroes, either. He won an Emmy for the TV-movie
Winchell
, about the sleazy gossip columnist, and a nomination for his portrayal of infamous Nazi Adolf Eichmann in
Conspiracy
; meanwhile in features he played neurotic (
Maid in Manhattan
), awkward (
Shall We Dance?
) and angry (
The Terminal
) with equal aplomb. Tucci became a gossip target when he left his wife and children for Edie Falco, his costar in the 2002 Broadway revival of the sexually charged
Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune
, but the relationship didn't last.
Stanley Tucci Fast Facts:
Went to high school with Campbell Scott; together they codirected the 1996 movie
Big Night
and shared the Boston Society of Film Critics Award for Best New Director.
Scott's mother, actress Colleen Dewhurst, helped Tucci land a small role in the 1982 play
The Queen and the Rebels
, which marked his Broadway debut.
Frequently works with Tony Shalhoub. 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.
Appeared alongside Jennifer Lopez in both
Maid in Manhattan
(2002) and
Shall We Dance? (2004)
.
A gourmet cook, Tucci was formerly co-owner of a New York restaurant called the Finch Tavern.
Studied acting at SUNY Purchase as did his ex-girlfriend Edie Falco. However, the two weren't there simultaneously.
