Standing tall at 6ft 2 (188 cm), Chazz Palminteri brings a commanding physical presence to his iconic roles as tough Italian-American figures. His imposing height perfectly suited the authoritative gangster Sonny in A Bronx Tale, which he wrote and starred in, as well as memorable parts in The Usual Suspects, Bullets Over Broadway, and Running Scared.
Beyond acting, Palminteri channels his larger-than-life stature into owning Chazz Palminteri Ristorante Italiano in New York City.
