Before Colombia-born babe Lillo Brancato went to prison for first-degree attempted burglary, he was heating up the boob tube and big screen with his hotness. Lillo entered the acting world by playing Calogero "C" Anello in Robert De Niro's A Bronx Tale (1993), for which he received widespread acclaim. He never matched the success of his first film, but he still landed roles in notable flicks like Renaissance Man (1994), Crimson Tide (1995), and Enemy of the State (1998), plus a mixed bag of mediocre movies like Firehouse (1996), Provocateur (1998), The Florentine (1999), Blue Moon (2000), Mambo Café (2000), Table One (2000), 'R Xmas (2001), In the Shadows (2001), Hostage Rescue Team (2001), The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002), The Real Deal (2002), Downtown: A Street Tale (2004), Slingshot (2005), and Searching for Bobby D (2005).
After A Bronx Tale, Lillo's biggest project was The Sopranos. It's also his most skintastic. As recurring criminal Matthew Bevilaqua, Lillo made a brief, bulge-baring appearance in his briefs in season two, episode eight. We wish he would have continued breaking out his junk rather than breaking into a house to steal some junk. In 2005, Lillo and an accomplice attempted a burglary that left an off-duty police officer dead. It was determined that Lillo's partner fired the fatal shot, so Lillo got the lighter sentence of 10 years. After less than five years, Lillo was released and shortly thereafter he returned to acting. Hopefully he'll return to attracting, especially now that he's got a prison chiseled physique!
