David Marciano (born January 7, 1960 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American actor, recognised by many as Detective Raymond Vecchio in the television series Due South. He currently appears in the TV police drama The Shield as Detective Steve Billings.

In 1991 Marciano married Katayoun Amini (who played Vecchio's ex-wife Angie in Due South) and together they have two daughters and one son.

Background

---

Marciano grew up in New Jersey and has admitted to having a troubled youth, "I was hanging around on street corners, drinking, gambling, playing cards, going to the racetrack, shooting pool, all those kind of things". At the age of seventeen, Marciano was involved in a car crash after a night out partying and was lucky to survive. This prompted him to sort his life out and he enrolled at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts to study Biomedical Engineering. After a disappointing start, Marciano transferred to Economics and Accounting for his second year before dropping out to pursue acting.
