Joe Pantoliano (b. 1951) is a character actor known for his roles in The Matrix and the Bad Boys movies. He voiced Peek in the Creature Shop-effects film Cats & Dogs.
Often cast as sleazy types, Pantoliano had mostly minor TV roles, including on M*A*S*H, before playing supporting parts in eighties flicks Risky Business (as Guido the pimp), Goonies (Francis Fratelli), and Midnight Run (with Charles Grodin, as a bail bondsman). He was on the side of law and order as a US Marshal in 1993's The Fugitive (and its sequel U.S. Marshals) and as angry Captain Howard in Bad Boys and its sequels. He was shifty again as Cypher in The Matrix and back to full criminal as a regular on EZ Streets and The Sopranos (as Ralph Cifaretto). Other film credits include Daredevil, Empire of the Sun, and Wedding Daze.
