Vincent M. Spano (born October 18, 1962) is an American film, stage and television actor; he is also a film director and producer.
Spano was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Italian-American parents Vincent and Theresa, who are of Italian origin.
His career started when he was 14 years old in the Broadway drama, The Shadow Box. He was originally credited as Vincent Stewart because his first agent felt the name Spano was "too ethnic", and he was even instructed to sign autographs using that stage name. At age 16, in respect for his Italian heritage, Spano began using his real name and has done so ever since then.
His debut in The Shadow Box was in 1977, first at the Long Wharf Theatre, in New Haven, Connecticut, and later on Broadway in New York City. Spano's film debut was at the age of 15, in the mystery The Double McGuffin, which he shot in the winter of 1978. Following The Double McGuffin, he shot Over the Edge in the summer of 1978.
Spano subsequently appeared in many Hollywood films, including the romantic-comedy Baby, It's You (1983), the drama City of Hope (1991), the drama Rumble Fish (1983), the biographical survival drama Alive (1993), the horror television film The Rats (2002), the drama Over the Edge (1979) and the comedy Creator (1985).
