Chazz Palminteri (born May 15, 1952) is an Oscar-nominated American actor and writer.
Palminteri, a Sicilian/Italian American* was born Calogero Lorenzo Palminteri in the Bronx, New York. He has appeared in several popular feature films, including A Bronx Tale (which he also wrote), Analyze This, and The Usual Suspects. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1994 for Bullets Over Broadway.
As a playwright, Palminteri authored A Bronx Tale and Faithful, and as a screenwriter, he adapted both of these stage productions into motion pictures. A Bronx Tale, which Palminteri has claimed to be semi-autobiographical, is particularly relevant to his career. Because he had spent the majority of his acting career in small character roles, he sold the play's film rights to Robert De Niro with the condition that Palminteri himself be allowed to play the role of Machiavellian mafia boss Sonny. This was his first notable major role in cinema. Starred in a made for TV movie Boss of Bosses (2001), in which he played the role of real life mobster Paul Castellano
