Michael Badalucco Biography

Michael Badalucco is a Flatbush native whose Sicilian father worked as a movie set carpenter when he was growing up; his parents instilled in him a strong devotion to family and religion that would serve as a guiding light through his life and career. Though his screen debut as an ill-fated Russian general's son was a non-speaking role that required little more than standing still for a few photographs the aspiring young actor was already on the path to a successful acting career.In the following years Badalucco earned his bachelor's degree in theater arts from the State University of New York at New Paltz and it was there that he cut his teeth on-stage and made the acquaintance of another up-and-coming talent named John Turturro. During his years at S.U.N.Y. New Paltz Badalucco essayed roles in over 20 plays. When their appearances in the off-Broadway production of Sam Shepard's Tooth of Crime caught the attention of actor Robert De Niro both Badalucco and Turturro were called into director Martin Scorsese's office to audition for supporting roles in Raging Bull. Not only did the experience provide young Badalucco with the chance to appear onscreen with one of his cinematic idols but it also set into motion a career that would find him turning up in such acclaimed films as Miller's Crossing (1990) Jungle Fever (1991) and The Professional (1994).
