As Ray Luca in the NBC one-hour television drama series, Tony received a fistful of kudos, including Time magazine recognition as "television's best villain of the 1980's". Since then, Tony has appeared in more than two dozen motion pictures, with Columbia Tri Star's Art of Revenge being the most recent. Following Crime Story and an impressive list of dozens of television appearances that include notable guest stars on such shows as The District, J.A.G., She Spies and Charmed. Tony recently landed the role of recurring character Paul Harper in the new one-hour television drama series, The D.A. Not too shabby for a Manhattan born and bred son of Sicilian immigrant parents and a Jose Torres trained amateur pugilist. Before Crime Story and the dozen career changes he made before discovering that acting was the profession he wanted most, Tony learned a few other skills, including carpentry, racquetball, handball, squash and chess, a skill he turned into championship recognition. When not acting, Tony and Jenny, his wife of twenty three years, enjoy their four cats, designing furniture and their beautiful California home in Sherman Oaks. Tony also loves baseball and the conversations he has in Italian with his family and friends.
