Lou Criscuolo
Lou Criscuolo
Matty, the Moron and the Madonna was the intriguing title of the first off-Broadway play to feature American actor Lou Criscuolo. After this 1964 debut, Criscuolo seldom missed a theatrical season, appearing in productions as celebrated as Man of La Mancha and as obscure as Hurry Harry. The actor's film roles were generally of the "colorful ethnic character bit" variety in such films as King Kong Lives (1975), Enormous Changes at the Last Minute (1983), Weeds (1987), From the Hip (1987), Once Around (1991), 29th Street (1991) and Weekend at Bernie's (1991). Operating from both coasts, Criscuolo could be seen in such TV series as The Edge of Night, as Danny Micelli; Popi (1976), as Mr. Maggio; and Just Friends (1979), as health spa owner Milt D'Angelo. Lou Criscuolo almost had an actual starring part on a 1977 TV series titled Instant Family, an Odd Couple rip-off co-starring William Daniels, but the show never got past the pilot stage. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
