Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
Beefy, imposing character actor who's been a fixture on the big screen and on TV, in roles both jovial and sinister. He's at his best playing tough, urban characters, and was excellent as a mob capo in Martin Scorsese's 1990 gangster picture GoodFellas That same year, he was barely recognizable under a ton of makeup in Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy (1990, as Lips Manlis); Sorvino also acted for Beatty in Reds (1981). His other films include Where's Poppa? (1970, his debut), The Panic in Needle Park, Made for Each Other (both 1971), A Touch of Class, The Day of the Dolphin (both 1973), The Gambler (1974), EB>. For Now(1976), Oh, God!(1977), Bloodbrothers (1978), Lost and Found(1979), Cruising (1980),I, the Jury (1982), That Championship Season (1982, reprising his stage role), Turk 182!, The Stuff (both 1985), A Fine Mess (1986), and The Rocketeer (1991), along with the starring role in the unforgettable Vasectomy: A Delicate Matter (1986). In 1991 he took over for George Dzundza in the crime series "Law and Order," for one year, then filled in for an ailing Raymond Burr in a 1993 "Perry Mason" TV movie. That same year he appeared unbilled as an underworld kingpin in The Firm. |  |
