Stanley Tucci

Stanley Tucci is an actor, filmmaker, screenwriter, and author from America. He is unarguably one of the most prominent and popular character actors working in the industry today. After graduating with an acting degree from SUNY Purchase like many of his contemporary colleagues, Tucci starred in the Broadway play ‘The Queen and the Rebels’ in 1982. He made his screen debut three years later in the black comedy ‘Prizzi's Honor’. In the early phase of his career, he appeared in a series of small yet memorable roles in both films and television shows, effectively gathering experience as well as getting better at his craft. He starred as the titular character in his breakthrough television film ‘Winchell’, which earned him both Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy awards. Over the course of his 35-year career, he has appeared in films representing every genre, working with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood and enriching the projects with his unique brand of humour and pathos. Not only most of his works have been praised by the critics, many of them are huge box-office hits as well. He received an Oscar nod for the 2009 supernatural drama ‘The Lovely Bones’.
