A convincingly menacing presence in such films as Goodfellas, Dick Tracy, and Nixon, Sorvino was just effective in comedy, memorably alongside George Burns in Oh God, and as a crooked insurance executive in the satire Bullworth. In addition to numerous TV roles and several directorial efforts, he was the father of Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino.
Directed by Robert Redford
Docudrama, Americana, Period Film - Rated PG13 - 134 Minutes - 1994
Robert Redford's movie about the game show scandals of the 50s is packed with great performances by John Turturro, Ralph Fiennes, and others who are so good they compensate for Rob Morrow's grating BAH-stahn accent (most of the time).
