Peter Onorati

Growing up in jersey as a wise-cracking, undersized Italian kid, Peter Onorati used lessons from his dad to become a driven student/athlete. Never one to let circumstances define him, he briefly played in the long-defunct World Football League before heading to Wall Street to secure a job as an executive with McCall's magazine. On a bet with his then girlfriend, he tried his hand at acting, and soon found himself starring in TV commercials. A move to Hollywood brought about roles in the final season of "Kate & Allie", as well as the hit movie "Goodfellas". Over the years, he's rooted himself as a phenomenal character actor, and currently appears in 2 hit TV shows: NBC's "This Is Us" and CBS's "SWAT". In one of my all-time fave interviews, Onorati talks life lessons, his drive to succeed, and the most important role he's ever played: father to 3 boys. www.peteronorati.com
