Alex Rocco Fast Facts:

Once dreamed of being "the youngest bookie ever" and flirted with a criminal lifestyle before finding success as an actor...one who often played criminals; flipped a coin to decide where to go to take up acting, and California won.
His first on-screen role was as a crook in a 1967 episode of the Batman TV series.
His breakthrough role was, not surprisingly, in a crime-centered film, as gangster Moe Green in 1972's The Godfather.
Studied acting with fellow Boston native Leonard Nimoy, who advised him to take speech lessons to rid himself of his Boston accent.
Upon getting a gig on the 2012 TV crime drama Magic City, said his role on the series as a mob-connected businessman struck him as having been "close to my own story."
