Danny Aiello

Danny Aiello is no stranger to gangster movies, after having starred in several. Best-known for his roles in Mario Puzo's The Godfather and The Last Don, this accomplished stage veteran was in his 30s when he made his screen debut in Bang The Drum Slowly.

Although his characters are usually crass, violent, and vulgar, Danny has also portrayed sensitive, kindly men with an earthy sense of humour. His other films include Once Upon A Time In America, The Purple Rose Of Cairo and Moonstruck, in which he was nominated for an Oscar.
