Stanley Tucci is best known as an actor. Here are some of his best pics in honor of his birthday.
Stanley Tucci, born November 11, 1960, in Peekskill, New York, grew up immersed in the arts and earned his BFA in acting from SUNY Purchase in 1982. His professional career began on stage in the Broadway play The Queen and the Rebels, and his film debut came shortly after in Prizzi’s Honor (1985). He went on to carve out a distinguished career as a versatile character actor, earning acclaim in films such as The Lovely Bones, for which he received an Academy Award nomination. Tucci has also proven himself a charismatic leading man, starring in projects like A Modern Affair (1996), and is beloved for his unforgettable turn as Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games franchise. Beyond the big screen, he’s made memorable television appearances on hit series including ER, Monk, Murder One, and BoJack Horseman.
In recent years, Tucci has expanded beyond acting into hosting and cultural ambassadorship. He launched the travel-food series Tucci in Italy in May 2025, exploring five Italian regions and spotlighting food, culture and history. In September, he was tapped by NBCUniversal to join its primetime team for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, where he’ll present segments on Italian cuisine and culture in northern Italy. He’s also confirmed for the sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 (set for release in 2026), reprising his role alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.
On the personal front, Tucci has been open about the long-term effects of his 2017 throat cancer treatment — particularly how radiation burned out his thyroid, leaving him fatigued and still recovering. His family life includes three children with his late wife Kathryn Spath-Tucci (d. 2009) and two children with his wife Felicity Blunt (married 2012), the elder sister of actress Emily Blunt.
