El Coyote (2019)

Italian-American character actor John Capodice was born on December 25, 1941 in Chicago, Illinois. Capodice began acting on stage in mostly Off-Broadway plays in New York City in the late 1970s. John acted on his first TV show in 1978 and appeared in his first movie in 1982. Often cast as menacing mobsters, gruff cops, or scruffy working-class types, Capodice continues to act with pleasing regularity both in films and on television.
