One of the top character actors of his era, John Turturro is a fixture of the contemporary American independent filmmaking landscape. After receiving his MFA from the Yale School of Drama, the versatile Brooklyn-born Turturro created the title role of John Patrick Shanley's "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea" and then went on to make his film debut in Martin Scorsese's masterpiece "Raging Bull." John Turturro entered Broadway with his performance in "Death of a Salesman" and kept busy in the '80s with a demanding acting career, including performances in Scorsese's drama "The Color of Money" and Woody Allen's comedy "Hannah and Her Sisters." John Turturro's breakthrough acting achievement came in 1989 when Spike Lee cast him as the hot-tempered, racist pizza-maker Pino in "Do the Right Thing." The following year, John Turturro developed a long and fruitful working relationship with Joel and Ethan Coen, beginning with his memorable performance as Bernie Bernbaum, the double-crossing Jewish gangster in "Miller's Crossing." Since then, John Turturro has starred in many other Spike Lee films, including "Mo' Better Blues," "Jungle Fever," "Clockers," "Girl 6," "He Got Game," "Summer of Sam" and "She Hate Me." John Turturro has also starred in several other Coen brothers' films, including Barton Fink and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" John Turturro's other film and television credits include "Quiz Show," "The Truce," "Box of Moon Light" and "Monday Night Mayhem," in which he played legendary sports commentator Howard Cosell. As he expands his range beyond acting, John Turturro has written and directed three feature films: "Mac," "Illuminata" and "Romance & Cigarettes." John Turturro performed in Eduardo De Filippo's "Souls of Naples," which opened off-Broadway in April 2005. John Turturro has wrapped production on "Slipstream," directed by Anthony Hopkins, and is currently filming a limited series titled "The Bronx Is Burning," based on the novel Ladies and Gentlemen, for ESPN. "The Bronx Is Burning" is written by Jonathan Mahler, and John Turturro plays the role of Billy Martin.
