Biography:Before his starring role in The Sopranos made his name, character actor "Michael Imperioli" worked in numerous films during the 1990s with an impressive array of New York-based talent. Born in Mount Vernon, NY, Imperioli did not have to move far when he decided to study acting at New York City's Stella Adler Conservatory. Soon after his 1988 movie debut, Imperioli burnished his acting resumé with a small part as Spider, shot by "Joe Pesci" in "Martin Scorsese"'s "Goodfellas" (1990). The following year, Imperioli earned his first role in a "Spike Lee" film, "Jungle Fever" (1991). Becoming a "Lee" regular, Imperioli also played small parts in "Malcolm X" (1992), "Clockers" (1995), and "Girl 6" (1996), and garnered his first feature screenplay credit as co-writer and executive producer of "Lee"'s "Summer of Sam" (1999). Imperioli added Italian-American authenticity to "Nancy Savoca"'s quirky ethnic tale... Full Biography
