Full Danny Nucci Biography
Danny Nucci stars as the naïve, big-hearted Frankie Zito, whose dreams of moving to Manhattan and becoming an actor mistakenly land him in an apartment with a gay roommate (Jason Bateman). Frankie's macho - and very straight -- personality initially puts him at odds with this arrangement but soon both men realize they might actually benefit from it.
Having starred in more than two dozen major studio movies and independent features, Nucci's most widely seen role was as Fabrizio De Rossi, Leonardo DiCaprio's ill-fated best friend in the highest-grossing film of all time, Paramount Pictures' "Titanic."
Nucci first attracted attention in another "at sea" film, portraying Petty Officer Rivetti in director Tony Scott's box-office smash, "Crimson Tide." Nucci's performance as the young sonar operator who teams up with the Executive Officer (Denzel Washington) to stop the sub's Captain (Gene Hackman) so impressed producer Jerry Bruckheimer that he immediately cast Nucci as the Navy SEAL Lt. Sheppard assigned to guard Sean Connery in "The Rock."
Nucci also starred opposite Bette Midler in the madcap feature film "That Old Feeling," in "Eraser" with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and also in Frank Marshall's "Alive." In addition, Nucci has appeared in such independent films as "The Outfitter," with Dana Delaney; "Unknown Cyclist," with Lea Thompson; "The Big Squeeze," with Lara Flynn Boyle; "Homage," with Blythe Danner; "Roosters," with Edward James Olmos; and the mock-umentary, "Sugar: The Fall of the West."
On television, Nucci starred last season as Manny Lott on the David E. Kelley series, "Snoops," and was also a regular on "Falcon Crest." His telefilms include "Missing Parents," "A Matter of Justice" and "For the Love of My Child: The Anissa Ayala Story."
Born in Austria, Nucci grew up in a small town outside of Venice, Italy before moving to the United States at the age of seven. He learned to speak English in Queens, New York, and, at age 10, moved with his family to California's San Fernando Valley. At 14, he began his professional career with a single day's work on "General Hospital," and made his feature film debut in "Book of Love." |
