Born and raised in Syracuse, NY, Andrew Davoli graduated from Villanova University before joining the Greg Zittel Acting Studio in New York City. His made his film debut in 1999, appearing in the independent #92;thriller Loser Love and the Martin Scorsese #92;drama Bringing out the Dead. He found a place for himself in #92;crime dramas with a role in The Yards, as well as a part in the supporting cast of The Sopranos' third season. Continuing with the mobster genre, he starred in Knockaround Guys, a film that gained a release almost three years after its completion, thanks in part to the emerging stardom of co-star Vin Diesel. The release came in late 2002, at the same time as the theatrical run for Davoli's next film, the #92;comedy Welcome to Collinwood. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
