Stanley tucci

Stanley Tucci was born on November 11, 1960 in Peekskill (New York). The son of a high school teacher and a secretary, he and his sister Christine soon became interested in the world of acting. In the case of Stanley the answer was simple, he has always felt more comfortable on stage than in real life. After studying drama at the State University of New York, he made his Broadway debut in 1982. His contact with the theater has been constant and in 2003 he was nominated for a Tony for his work in Terrence ‘s “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune”. McNally. But despite his love for the stage, Tucci now recognizes that he needs to get involved in works that won’t run for long, otherwise he’ll go “crazy”. So he doesn’t spend a year playing the same character in theaters around the world. Something that, on the other hand, is perfect to combine his work in cinema.

He made his big screen debut in a small role in Prizzi’s Honor (1985). Stanley’s long career had just begun. For 10 years he continued with the small characters in titles without major significance such as Devilish Attraction (1988), The Public Eye (1992) or Beware the Blues Family (1993). The first major roles of his career came in back-to-back years, 1995 and 1996, although they were also in lesser titles, A Modern Affair and The Daytrippers . His tireless career continued advancing between mediocre films, genres of all kinds and roles of the most diverse. But then it was time to start working with the big boys.He was given a small role by Woody Allen in Taking Harry Down (1997), as did Danny Boyle in A Different Story (1997) and Sam Mendes in Road to Perdition (2002).

But it is that by the time Sam Mendes arrived, Tucci already had two Golden Globes in his possession thanks to his television portrayal of a famous American columnist in Winchell (1998) and the Nazi Adolf Eichmann in The Final Solution (2001). He had taken his time, but Stanley Tucci had already made it clear that he was a serious candidate to be in the lead group of the marathon. He left for the memory nice interpretations such as that of Ralph Fiennes ‘ “Jiminy Cricket” in It Happened in Manhattan (2002) and interpretative challenges such as the composition he made of Stanley Kubrick in Call Me Peter (2004). Steven SpielbergHe called him to be in charge of the airport where Tom Hanks would be trapped in The Terminal (2004). This mixture of characters who both inspire tenderness and affection from the public and become hateful beings, are perfect for Tucci. The explosive mixture of his bald head with the consequent air of maturity, wisdom and responsibility that it entails, with his mischievous child’s mischievous eyes, make it possible for you to love and hate Tucci at the same time. Something that became very clear two years later in The Devil Wears Prada (2006), where he was the official mattress and “ball” of Meryl Streep , but also the support of poor Anne Hathaway. Lately, he has once again brought out his most disturbing face, which he already showed in titles like The Final Solution , with Peter Jackson ‘s call for The Lovely Bones .

During this very long marathon, Stanley has also had time to put into practice other cinematographic concerns. He has produced, directed, starred in, and scripted Big Night (1996) and The Impostors (1998). The first title was his debut behind the scenes and for the new task he had his professional colleague Scott Campbell , who has also been a friend of his since high school. Someone who will know well the difficult times Stanley went through when his wife Kate died of cancer in 2009. The couple married in 1995. They had three children, the twins Nicolo and Isabel, and the eldest of the house, Camilla. The marriage had separated in 2003 to later resume their relationship.

To date, Stanley’s filmography reaches more than 80 titles. Taking into account the wonderful progression of his career, it could be said that not only is Tucci here for a while, but we may still have to see the best of the actor. As a good long-distance runner, he will know that the start is essential, but not as much as growing along the route to be able to enter the finish line first.
