When character actor Antoni Corone launched his screen career in the mid-'80s, producers immediately foresaw a perfect niche for him, and started casting him as rugged, slightly imposing and domineering types -- including club bouncers, security personnel, military men and officers of the law. He bowed with a slate of roles in 1986, including the telefilm Charley Hannah (1986), and eventually graduated to big-screen character actor with bit parts in such A-list Hollywood features as Blood and Wine (1996), Striptease (1996), Bad Boys II (2003) and Out of Time (2003). Corone rose to higher billing with a supporting turn in the Joaquin Phoenix / Mark Wahlberg crime saga We Own the Night (2007). - IMDb Mini Biography By: Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
