His work on film began in the late 80s - an early part that brought him recognition was in Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas (1990)", as Spider, a local kid who works for the gangsters and has a run-in with the psychopathic mob soldier played by Joe Pesci. He worked throughout the 90s in the New York independent film industry, especially as a regular in Spike Lee's movies, appearing in "Jungle Fever (1991)", "Malcolm X (1992)", "Clockers (1995)", "Girl 6 (1996)" and "Summer of Sam (1999)", generally playing working-class Italian-Americans from the "outer boroughs." While rooted in the New York movie scene, Imperioli also worked in Hollywood in the mid-90s, in the formulaic movies "Bad Boys (1995)" and "Last Man Standing (1996)".
In 1999 Imperioli was cast in "Sopranos, The" (1999)" as Christopher Moltisanti, a low-ranking soldier in the Soprano crime organization whose family connections to street boss Tony Soprano move him up the ladder in the organization. Imperioli's multi-layered portrayal of such an unappealing character is a real highlight of the series and earned him an Emmy and a SAG award.
Imperioli has long been active in the New York theater scene as well, having written, directed, produced or starred in numerous plays. He was a founder, along with Lili Taylor (his then-girlfriend and co-star in "Household Saints (1993)") of the downtown theater company, Machine Full. He has also written several episodes of "The Sopranos" and was a writer on Lee's "Summer of Sam," which he also executive-produced.
Although most famous for his prominent part in "The Sopranos," Imperioli has worked on other television programs as well, including "Law & Order" (1990)", "New York Undercover" (1994)" and "NYPD Blue" (1993)". He is married and has three children. hide |
