Actor Michael Imperioli rocketed to fame as Christopher Moltisanti on The Sopranos. Prior to his most notable role, however, he already became part of several mafia-themed projects, including Goodfellas and Witness to the Mob, all thanks to his Italian-American roots.
Born on March 26, 1966, Imperioli is also credited for his roles in Dead Presidents, I Shot Andy Warhol, Last Man Standing and Bad Boys just to name a few. Following the conclusion of The Sopranos, he remained in the spotlight by playing Det. Nick Falco on the series Law & Order and as Detective Ray Carling in the US version of Life on Mars. At present, he stars as Detective Louis Fitch on Detroit 1-8-7.
Aside from working as an actor, Imperioli is a writer, who has worked on several episodes of The Sopranos. He also works as artistic director of an Off-Broadway theater.
