Stanley Tucci – an American actor, producer, writer, film director, and former fashion model. Stanley is involved in acting from a young age, he made his movie debut in John Huston’s Prizzi’s Honor.
The 59-year-old Italian-American New York native has over 100 acting credits in his past 35-year career, most notably his Academy Award-nominated character as the villain of The Lovely Bones, as the creator of a hero in Captain America: The First Avenger, and maybe his striking role to date, Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games show.

A Quiet Place cast Emily Blunt became friends with Stanley Tucci after meeting him on the sets of The Devil Wears Prada, but other than both featuring in post-apocalyptic movies about monsters that hunt on sound, they relate deeper to each other than that.
