Michael Cipiti
Michael Cipiti, with roots in the boot, hails from The Land, Cleveland, starting his journey at the iconic Cleveland Play House. With his "olive oil voice" and "guinea charm," Michael has graced the screen in notable projects such as Gotti, playing Carlo Gambino alongside John Travolta and Stacy Keach, and again donning his fedora in the award-winning short film, Confessions of Carlo Gambino. He's worked alongside iconic mob actors Tony Sirico and Frank Vincent, as well as many others, including Kevin Costner, Frank Langella and Moisés Arias. Michael also has some national commercial spots under his belt, notably with LeBron James. When he’s not busy acting, Michael can be found embracing his passion for fitness, often seen gliding across the water in his kayak. And he's still working on his "I'm not a gangster" face...a slow process.
