Domenick Lombardozzi (born March 25, 1976)[1] is an American actor. He is best known for portraying the police officer Herc in The Wire, and is also known for his roles in Tulsa King (2022–2024), A Bronx Tale (1993), and The Irishman (2019).
Lombardozzi has also had lead roles in series such as Breakout Kings (2011–2012) and Rosewood (2015–2017). He also portrayed Gaitano "Guy" Russo in Reacher (2023–2024).
Early life
Lombardozzi was born and raised in the Bronx, New York City.[2][3] He was the third and youngest child of an Italian-American family.[4] He was interested in baseball as a teenager,[5] but answered a casting call for a movie set in his neighborhood, landing his first role with Robert de Niro.[4]
Career
Lombardozzi was cast in his first film role at age seventeen, when Robert De Niro cast him in A Bronx Tale in 1993, as a low level gun dealer named Nicky Zero. [6] He then played small movie and TV roles for a decade, a period he describes as 'the grind', until being cast for HBO series The Wire as Thomas 'Herc' Hauk.[5]
Lombardozzi continued being cast in 'tough guys' roles[5], including Ray Zancanelli on the A&E television series Breakout Kings, Tony Salerno in Martin Scorsese's The Irishman (2019)[7], and Ralph Capone in Boardwalk Empire. He reunited with De Niro in 2013 in The Family.[8]
