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 films, Confessions of Carlo Gambino and A Sitdown with Carlo. 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. Michael is the also the creator and writer of an original one-hour television pilot built around one of his signature characters, a role he has portrayed in multiple productions. He is also developing the character into a broader entertainment brand through related creative ventures. 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.
