Famous actor Robert Cannavale is the star of the series Will and Grace, Vinyl and The Third Shift. The artist is a two-time Emmy winner and a Tony nominee.
The performer, whose family includes both Italians and Cubans, is better known as Bobby.
The time of childhood and the time of adolescence
Bobby was born in the small town of Union City in 1970, May 3. Soon the whole family moved to Florida with a more pleasant climate.
When the son was thirteen, the parents broke up. The future famous actor, together with his mother, a native of Puerto Rico, went to her homeland.
The boy lived there for two years and returned to the States, starting a career as a film actor. Artistic ability began to show in Cannavale during his studies at school. On the occasion, he got a role in one of the productions.
After the successful premiere, the student was specially invited to participate in the next performance. After the shows, the boy studying in the lower grades chose his future profession.
Bobby had no special education. But this did not prevent the development of a creative career. Before getting the opportunity to play in entreprise productions, the novice actor worked as a bartender.
The path to the world of big cinema
For a very long time, Bobby did not have serious roles. His first notable work was filming in the first two seasons of The Third Shift, a crime series.
The actor got the directors interested in participating in the serial project "Will and Grace". He very faithfully portrayed a gay policeman.
After the premiere of "The Stationmaster", where the duet of Cannavale and Peter Dinklager took place, the demand for Bobby has greatly increased. In 2012, the now recognizable performer starred in the dramatic series Underground Empire.
The main action is developing around the emergence of the gambling center "Atlantic City" during the nascent "dry law" of the twenties. Events begin a few hours before the adoption of the decree.
Criminals look forward to robbing competitors and selling alcohol clandestinely. The picture received favorable reviews.
A total of five seasons have been released. Cannavale's character appeared on the third. He reincarnated as the tough and uncompromising gangster Gil Rosetti. Bobby's hero challenged the city's crime boss and the main character of the series, Nucky.
Successful development of a film career
Further, Cannavale played with Al Pacino in a psychological thriller, worked with Cate Blanchett on a family drama. With Selena, Gomez starred in a socially oriented tape.
Each picture has earned a high rating and has become popular with moviegoers. The performer worked in 2015 in The Spy, a comedy action movie.
The project accurately noticed and caustically ridiculed the main stereotypes of the genre. At the very beginning of the parody of the classic "spy passions", the familiar image of a charming super agent, impeccably dressed and possessing all super skills, is shown. However, less than five minutes later, he was killed.
The entire intelligence network is under threat of destruction. The only one who can save the world from disaster, terrorist attacks and the use of the latest bomb turns out to be a staff agent. Susan.
The plump, awkward girl has never been to "field" work. The heroine finds Sergio de Luca, the hero of Cannavale, who was an intermediary in the sale of the bomb. He helped the heiress of the crime boss in getting rid of the weapon.
At the same time, Sergio dreams of realizing his own plans. He has his own thoughts on selling and using the bomb.
