Seemingly destined to spend his career playing small-time criminals and thugs (after debuting in 1985's Prizzi's Honor), actor Stanley Tucci finally broke free of that mold in 1996 when he portrayed an Italian-American restaurateur in Big Night, a film he also co-wrote and co-directed (with high school pal Campbell Scott).Born Nov. 11, 1960, in Peekskill, N.Y., Tucci studied drama at State University of New York Purchase and appeared on Broadway (where he's since returned) before landing his first film roles in the mid-1980s. Following the success of Big Night, Tucci returned to the director's seat for The Impostors (in which he also co-starred) and Joe Gould's Secret.
With the dawn of the new century, Tucci, the actor, has been busier than ever, snagging juicy roles in films such as Road to Perdition, Steven Spielberg's The Terminal and 2006's The Devil Wears Prada (with Meryl Streep).
