Giancarlo Esposito

Giancarlo Esposito

Director | Actor
Date of birth : 04/26/1958
City of birth : Copenhagen, Denmark

Giancarlo Giuseppe Alessandro Esposito was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, to an Italian carpenter/stagehand father from Naples, Italy, and an African-American opera singer mother from Alabama. His parents, working in Europe at the time of his birth, settled in Manhattan by the time he was 6, and that's where he grew up. Coming from a theatrical background, it was, perhaps, inevitable that young Giancarlo would appear on stage sooner or later, and he did, at age 8, appearing on Broadway as a slave child in "Maggie Flynn" in 1966. More Broadway work followed through the 1960s and early '70s, followed by some small roles in movies. TV work followed in the 1980s, with increasingly significant parts in a string of high-profile series until he became well-established as a character player both on TV and in a number of movies. He came very much to the public's attention playing Agent Mike Giardello in the TV series Homicide: Life on the Street (1993) in 1998 and since then has rarely been off our screens.

This fall, however, a strikingly ironic parallel to the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon has emerged: let me present you “Megajokalis”: the simult

Megalopolis: The American Dream is possible!

"When you jump into the unknown, you prove you are free." This is one of Cesar Catilina's many quotes, the protagonist of Francis Ford Coppola's latest movie that, just like its creator, tries to build the foundations of an idealized society or, at least, inspire others with such ideas. Regarding mysterious Cesar, his idea is called Megalopolis, a giant urban project aimed at unifying the best values and principles of people living in a city in which they can achieve everything they dream of jus

"Megalopolis": What's it all About?

"Megalopolis" (2024) is a sci-fi film conceived by Francis Ford Coppola in 1983, initially stalled due to his production company's bankruptcy. A revival in 2001 was interrupted by the tragic events of 9/11 in New York City. Despite these setbacks, Coppola tirelessly rebooted the project in 2019, selling his private vineyard in 2021 to fully finance this ambitious $120 million-budget film. Filmed at an Atlanta VFX studio from November 2022 and completed by March 2023, "Megalopolis" (2024) epitomi
