American actor Joe Marinelli died on Sunday June 22 of stomach cancer, confirmed the Hollywood Reporter. He was 68 years old. We owed him the fairly original role of a mafia loving to disguise himself in the Santa Barbara series.
Standing in Santa Barbara
He began his career in the Haine and Passion Soap in the 1980s, before playing guests in the law of Los Angeles or Captain Furillo. In 1988, he played the role of Bunny Tagliatti for two years in the series Santa Barbara. During the 171 episodes in which he appears, he interprets a distinguished mafiosi, occasionally violent, but who secretly appreciates disguising himself as a woman.
In 1991, he was found in the casting of the medium -length film The Passion of Martin signed Alexander Payne, director he will find in 2004 for Sideways and The Assassination of Richard Nixon, directed by Niels Mueller with Sean Penn, Naomi Watts and Don Cheadle and produced by Payne.
Fictitious director of The Morning Show
In parallel, Marinelli appears in several series, including Emergencies, General Hospital or even at the White House, but also Dr House, Castle, Numb3rs, Parenthood, Desperate Housewives, Ray Donovan or Marvel: SHIELD agents. In recent years, we have been able to meet the actor in Insecure, L'Arme Fatale, Hollywood by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan or The Offer, the series behind the scenes (romanticized) of the manufacture of the film The Godfather.
In 2019, he joined what will be his last appearance on the screen, The Morning Show, a series taking place in the media world with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. He interpreted Donny Spagnoli, the director of the fictitious series of the series, The Morning Show. In fact, it was often found under management with a-headset on the ears.
