Biography
When character player Antoni Corone launched his screen career in the mid-'80s, producers immediately foresaw a perfect niche for him, and started casting him as rugged, slightly imposing and domineering types -- including club bouncers, security personnel, military men, and officers of the law. He bowed with a slate of roles in 1986, including the telemovie
Charley Hannah, and eventually graduated to big-screen character actor with bit parts in such A-list Hollywood features as
Blood and Wine (1996),
Striptease (1996),
Bad Boys II (2003), and
Out of Time (2003). Corone rose to higher billing with a supporting turn in the
Joaquin Phoenix/
Mark Wahlberg crime saga
We Own the Night (2007). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
