Danny Nucci

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Danny Nucci (September 15, 1968) is an American actor who is best known for playing characters who were unceremoniously killed off in short succession during four different 1990s blockbuster action films -- Eraser, The Rock, Alive: The Miracle of the Andes, and Titanic -- two of which were released within twenty months of one another in 1996 and 1997. Alive was released in 1993. He was also known for his roles as Gabriel Ortega on the CBS soap opera Falcon Crest from 1988 to 1989; as Vincent Sforza, alongside Marguerite Moreau, in Firestarter 2: Rekindled; as Petty Officer Danny Rivetti in the 1995 Gene Hackman-Denzel Washington submarine thriller Crimson Tide; and as Spider Bomboni in the 1990 50's comedy Book of Love.

Nucci was born the second child to Sephardic Jewish parents from Italy and Morocco. He was raised just outside of Venice, Italy until the age of seven, when his family relocated to the United States. After temporarily living in Queens, New York, the family settled in California's San Fernando Valley, where Nucci graduated from Grant High School. [1]

He has been married to actress Paula Marshall since 2003 and has two daughters (one from a previous relationship).
