John Turturro ---hollywood.com
What he may lack in movie star good looks, the quirkily brilliant John Turturro more than makes up for with some of the finest acting chops around. Upon completion of his MFA at the Yale School of Drama, the versatile, Brooklyn-born performer created the title role of John Patrick Shanley's Danny and the Deep Blue Sea at the Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center in 1983, reprising it a year later off-Broadway to win an OBIE Award. Although he had worked as an extra in 'Raging Bull' (1980) and played bits in several other movies, his success in Shanley's play opened the door for larger roles in films like 'To Live and Die in L.A.' (1985) and 'The Color of Money' (1986), but it remained for Shanley himself to write a part in 'Five Corners' (1987) that truly showcased the actor's dark intensity. As psychopathic penguin-clubbing parolee Heinz Sabatino, he terrorized Jodie Foster and provided the dramatic center for an arresting but flawed melange
