Has become a regular in the thought provoking films of Spike Lee and the off the wall comedies of Joel Coen & Ethan Coen. His wonderful performances include as the highly agitated "Pino" in "The Do the Right Thing (1989)", as an intellectual playwright in "Barton Fink (1991)", a pedophile tenpin bowler in "Big Lebowski (1998)", a confused boyfriend in "Jungle Fever (1991)" and as the voice of Harvey the dog in "Summer of Sam (1999)".
Turturro has continued to appeal to audiences despite his unconventional looks and the often annoying onscreen mannerisms of his characters which he used to great effect in films such as his blue collar tale of warring brothers in the construction business, "Mac (1992)", as the irate, dumped game show contestant, Herbie Stempel, in Robert Redford 's dynamic "Quiz Show (1994)". One of modern American cinema's gems of acting, Turturro remains in strong demand for his high calibre thespian talents.
