Philip Michael Bosco (born September 26, 1930) is an American actor.
Bosco was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, the son of Margaret Raymond (née Thek), a policewoman, and Philip Lupo Bosco, a carnival worker. His father was of Italian descent and his mother was of German ancestry. Bosco attended St. Peter's Preparatory School in Jersey City, and later studied Drama at Catholic University of America, where he had notable success in the title role of Shakespeare's Richard III.
Bosco married a fellow Catholic University student, Nancy Ann Dunkle, on January 2, 1957. They have seven children, Jenny, Diane, Philip, Chris, John, Lisa, Celia and 15 grandchildren. In recent years Mr. Bosco has been battling Alzheimer's disease, effectively ending the New Jersey native's acting career. Bosco currently resides in Haworth, New Jersey.
Bosco began his career in Broadway theatre. He received a Tony Award nomination for his debut in The Rape of the Belt in 1960 and spent the next three decades supporting major stars in classic revivals like Cyrano de Bergerac, King Lear, and Twelfth Night.
He appeared in revivals of plays by George Bernard Shaw, including Man and Superman, Saint Joan, Mrs. Warren's Profession, Major Barbara, Heartbreak House (opposite Rex Harrison), and You Never Can Tell, winning Tony nominations for the last three. He also appeared with Shirley Knight in the Roundabout Theatre Company revival of Come Back, Little Sheba.
