’Italian Americans and anyone who had a dark complexion were always playing the bad guy’ Stanley Tucci has had a career filled with diverse roles from serial killer to fashionista to his latest as secret agent Bernard Oderick in Amazon Prime’s new series ’ Citadel ’. It was during an interview about this show with entertainment.ie’s Brian Lloyd that Tucci talked about how he was typecast as a bad guy when he first started acting, simply because he was Italian American.
’There was this huge prejudice against Italian Americans as there has been against so many ethnic groups in Hollywood.’ Tucci continued, ’Things are finally starting to change because people are speaking up. Now you see somebody is a teacher, and they have an Italian last name which is scripted and they have nothing to do with the mafia. You are finally starting to see that in probably the last 10 years.
