Danny Nucci (born September 15, 1968) is an Austrian-American actor.
Born in Klagenfurt, Austria, to a French Moroccan mother and an Italian father, Nucci was raised in Italy until the age of seven, when his family relocated to the United States.
After temporarily living in Queens, New York, the family settled in California's San Fernando Valley, where Nucci graduated from Grant High School. He married Paula Marshall in 2003, with whom he has one daughter. He also has a daughter from his first marriage to Terre Bridgham. Nucci and Marshall played lovers in That Old Feeling (1997).
During the 1990s, Nucci played characters who are unceremoniously killed off in three blockbuster films — Eraser, The Rock and Titanic (as Fabrizio De Rossi, Jack Dawson's Italian friend) — which were released within 20 months of each other between 1996 and 1997. His character in Alive (also known as) Alive: The Miracle of the Andes (1993) survives.
Elsewhere in film, he starred as Spider Bomboni in Book of Love (1990) and as Petty Officer Danny Rivetti in the Gene Hackman-Denzel Washington thriller Crimson Tide (1995). He played the roles of Benny Rodriguez in the straight-to-video film The Sandlot: Heading Home (2007) and a Port Authority police officer in World Trade Center (2006).
