Movies with Alex Rocco

With his distinctive, gravelly voice and penchant for playing unforgettable villains, Alex Rocco carved out a prolific and varied career in film and television. Though he often portrayed criminals and mobsters, Rocco possessed a remarkable range that allowed him to bring depth and nuance to even the most unsavory of characters. Rocco's breakout role came in 1972 when he delivered a memorably sneering performance as Moe Greene in the iconic crime drama The Godfather.
