Date of Birth : Jun 28th 1972

This grandson of acclaimed Italian sculptor Constantino Nivola began his acting career while still an undergraduate at Yale, landing the plum leading role in a Seattle production of Athol Fugard’s “Master Harold… and the Boys”. After college, Alessandro Nivola became a rising stage star thanks to his work in regional theater and his 1995 Broadway debut as the young lover of Helen Mirren in “A Month in the Country”. Inevitably, film and television roles were offered; the handsome, light-haired actor appeared in the 1996 NBC miniseries “Danielle Steel’s ‘The Ring'” and landed his first film role as Joanna Going’s preppy husband in “Inventing the Abbotts” before landing his breakthrough part as Nicolas Cage’s paranoid schizophrenic brother in John Woo’s “Face/Off” (both 1997).
