Danny Nucci Detailed Biography -
Danny Nucci (born September 15, 1968) is an American film and television actor.
Nucci was born in Klagenfurt, Austria to a French Moroccan mother and an Italian father, and was raised in 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. He has been married to actress Paula Marshall since 2003 and has two daughters (one from a previous relationship).
Nucci is 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 (1993), and Titanic -- three of which were released within twenty months of one another in 1996 and 1997. Nucci is 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. He also took the role of Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez in the straight-to-video movie The Sandlot: Heading Home.
