3. Joe Viterelli
Joe Viterelli is well known amongst the acting world as the perfect actor to play an Italian mobster. Viterelli has nailed the art of portraying someone you don’t want to mess with. The interesting thing about this brilliant actor is that he was never really interested in acting at all. Instead, Viterelli rather enjoyed the simple kind of life. But as always, it’s not what you know but who you know. Viterelli was good friends with actor Sean Penn‘s father Leo, who had tried time and time again to get Viterelli to pursue acting. But as always, the request was futile. It wasn’t until Sean Penn asked him for a favor that Viterelli agreed to audition. The big guy enjoyed acting a lot more than he could have imagined. And with that said, Viterelli went on to pursue an acting career that would land him roles in over 40 films.
