was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico in 1977 to Cuban parents. In 1980, the Riescos moved to the metropolitan area of San Juan.

"Go home and get your f*ckin' shine box." So spoke Frank Vincent as the electrifying Billy Batts in Martin Scorsese's masterpiece "Goodfellas". And one of the most quotable lines in modern movie history was born. Frank's film career started in 1975 in Ralph DeVito's "Death Collector" with his good friend and fellow actor Joe Pesci. When Scorsese saw his work he knew he was right for the role of Salvi in the 1980 Academy Award nominated film of the decade, "Raging Bull". From that point until the present day, Frank has appeared in numerous television shows, music videos and over fifty films.

He has demonstrated the ultimate degree of a character actor in films like "Do the Right Thing", "Casino", and "Jungle Fever". And has worked with some of the greatest directors of our time: Scorsese, Brian DePalma, Spike Lee, John Sayles, and Sydney Lumet. He has acted with such greats as Robert DeNiro, Bruce Willis, James Gandolfini, Richard Dreyfuss, Samuel L. Jackson, Sharon Stone, Adrien Brody and Sylvester Stallone among others.

Vincent subsequently appeared in the drama "Grind" in support of Adrienne Shelley and Billy Crudup and in Edward Burns' romantic comedy "She's the One" (both 1996). He would continue to surface in crime-drama fare such as "Night Falls On Manhattan", "Copland", "Made Men" (all 1997) and as comedic variations of his tough-guy persona in "Gunshy" and "The Crew" (both 2000). He had a rare, non-gangster-from-the-neighborhood role in the 2000 biopic of author Jaqueline Susann "Isn't She Great" playing Greek tycoon Aristotle Onansis.

Of all Frank's accomplishments, it's his on-screen relationship with nemesis Pesci that has brought so much joy to film fans across the globe. After suffering two beat downs by Pesci in "Raging Bull" and "Goodfellas", Frank finally got his revenge when he killed off Pesci's character in grueling fashion in the stylish "Casino".

But the actor's seminal role has to be his seemingly long-overdue addition to the supporting cast of the hit HBO mob drama "The Sopranos" in 2004 as the menacing Phil Leotardo, whose simmering vendetta against Tony Soprano's crew brought exhilarating excitement to millions of viewers week-after-week.

At the age of 17 Nathan Corbett has good reason to smile. After a successful run on the HBO hit "The Wire", it's clear he has a long and exciting future ahead of him in the film industry. The Baltimore, Maryland native may be small in stature, but tall in charm, smile, and charisma, all of which helped launch his career at the age of 3 on the runway modeling for Nordstrom. He auditioned for and became protégé of Linda Townsend management, doing theatrical performances with the Baltimore Children's Theater, and Patapsco High and Center for the Arts. He went on to make appearances in national recording artist Li Mo's music video, and a Hilary Duff Barbie commercial.

Nathan used his considerable talents to land roles on CBS's "Cold Case", and NBC's "Law & Order". But is was shortly thereafter that Nathan broke out. He made his mark on the riveting epic series "The Wire". His portrayal of the car-stealing, street-wise Donut was at once electrifying and cool. To any viewer it was obvious that he possesses a commanding presence. Not long after, Nathan landed a role in the critically lauded indie hit "Half Nelson". He provided the lion's share as a comic relief in his scenes with Ryan Gosling, who would go on to be nominated for an Academy Award. Producer Jamie Patricof was quite impressed with the then 15 year old, "Nathan is definitely a kid who will go a long way in whatever he chooses to pursue".
