Rocco Sisto
Actor
73 years (Feb 8, 1953)Bari, Italy
Long careers are rarer than they look, and Rocco Sisto has become a familiar face with the unglamorous consistency that long careers are made of. The career has been split between cinema and television rather than settled in either. 'Donnie Brasco' sits at the front of the filmography, where he plays Richard 'Richie' Gazzo. 'Carlito's Way' is the other credit most often cited. The career opened quietly, the way most long ones do. Casting directors have gone to him for drama more than for anything else.
