New York native Tony Darrow grew up in Brooklyn in the 1940s. He began his career in show business as a nightclub singer, and spent years in the occupation before moving into the realm of film. He signed on to appear in the 1987 film Street Trash, which became a cult success. Darrow's persona as an old-school mafioso would also strike a chord with audiences, and the actor would soon find himself playing gangsters in a long string of movies, including GoodFellas, Bullets Over Broadway, Analyze This, Mickey Blue Eyes, Sweet and Lowdown, Lynch Mob, and more.
