One of the greatest storytellers I've had the joy of spending time with, Peter Onorati is a gas! The good kind. As great an actor as he is, bringing truth, depth and unique flavor to every character he portrays, he brought that plus incredible warmth, humanity, and loads of the funny. And, funny people. I feel like I interviewed his whole family.... and Bobby DeNiro. Peter made it so easy… each question sparked a multitude of tales, one more astonishing and entertaining than the next… his grandfather’s secret, his mother’s master manipulation, from football to wrestling to wrestling naked with Kim Cattrall on Sex And The City, the actual Sopranos, fantastic Cop Rock stories, from Kathleen Wilhoite to Mike Post, Steven Bochco, who transitioned him to leading man, Civil Wars and Mariel Hemingway. Starting out at Ford Motor Company, getting an MBA and kicking ass at McCall’s Magazine, a sales and marketing maven, he brought those skills and business acumen to his new career - first improv, where he met his bride of 30 years, Jeanette Collins, a glorious Emmy Award winning writer, then to standup, commercials, Goodfellas, where he finessed Scorsese, Kate and Allie, and off he went. We got current with This Is Us and S.W.A.T. and talked his fitness, “The gym is the only place I go where my goal is to leave.” But go he does, and boy does it show. WOW, what a specimen. What an actor, what a human! Suzy Soro, I owe you big time for the connection. Beyond this show, these are people I hope to know. Thanks Lynne Stewart, I felt like you were in the room with us. And what good company that is. I had a phenomenal time, before, during and after the cameras rolled. From the first moment we said hello, Peter was an incredibly easy person to get to know. Does it get any better than that? Yes, add Pete George.
