John Turturro Career

Career

Turturro's first film role was as a non-speaking extra in Martin Scorsese's critically acclaimed Raging Bull (1980). At the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center in 1983, he played Danny Patrick Shanley's Danny and the Deep Blue Sea. He took it off-Broadway last year and received an Obie Award. Turturro was a supporting role in William Friedkin's To Live and Die in Los Angeles (1985) as the henchman of the vicious counterfeiter played by Willem Dafoe.

Spike Lee loved Turturro's appearance in Five Corners (1987) so much that he portrayed him in Do the Right Thing (1989). This film was the first of a long-running partnership between the producer and Turturro, which included appearances on a number of television shows, including Mo' Better Blues (1990), Jungle Fever (1991), She Hate Me (2004), and Miracle at St. Anna (2008).

Turturro has appeared in both comedy and drama films, as well as an extended collaboration with the Coen Brothers—he appeared in their films Miller's Crossing (1990), Barton Fink (1991, in the lead role) and Where Art Thou? (2000). Turturro has appeared in several of Adam Sandler's films, including Mr. Deeds (2002) and You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008). He played Johnny Depp's character in the comedy Anger Management and played him as a deeply disturbed patient of Jack Nicholson's character in Anger Management and played Johnny Depp's character's antagonist in Secret Window.

Turturro hosted Saturday Night Live in 1994, where he mocked his then-recently made film, Quiz Show, being told he was ineligible to host unless he answered questions in a booth, and if he failed, the honor of hosting would go to Joey Buttafuoco, who was on backstage to witness Turturro's testing. He received an Emmy Award for his role as Adrian Monk's brother Ambrose in the USA Network series Monk and has reprised the role on several occasions. He has also been nominated and received numerous accolades from film festivals such as the Screen Actors Guild, Cannes Film Festival, Golden Globes, and others.

Turturro produced and directed the film Illuminata (1999), which also starred Katherine Borowitz. In 2005, he wrote and directed Romance and Cigarettes. In 2006, he appeared in Robert De Niro's The Good Shepherd and as the Sector 7 agent Seymour Simmons in four Transformers live-action films. In 2010, he produced (and had cameo on-screen appearances in) Passione, a film that chronicles Naples, Italy's rich musical heritage.

Elaine May, Woody Allen, and Ethan Coen's debut in stage direction was in October 2011 with the Broadway play Relatively Speaking, in which he led an ensemble of veteran actors in a revival of three comedic one-act plays. Julie Kavner, Marlo Thomas, Mark Linn-Baker, and Steve Guttenberg appeared on the film.

In mid-September 2013, Turturro's fifth directorial film Fading Gigolo premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Turturro also stars in the film alongside Woody Allen, who plays a novice pimp overseeing Turturro's sex work. Turturro said in a September 2013 interview that he planned to draw parallels between sex work and acting, implying that this is a "service industry" in which actors are "acting out people's hopes or aspirations." Turturro received the Career Achievement Award and Honor at the 31st edition of the Miami International Film Festival in March 2014. Turturro appeared in the 2016 miniseries The Night Of, receiving a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. In a television adaptation of Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, Turturro played William of Baskerville.

In 2022, he appeared in Matt Reeves' film The Batman, based on Carmine Falcone's character.
