Who are Actors named Oscar?

Answer 1

Oscar is a 1991 comedy film directed by John Landis. Based on the Claude Magnier stage play, it's not a remake of the 1967 film of the same name, but bares certain similarities to the original French film. The story is set in Depression era New York and centers around a mob boss trying to go straight. The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Marisa Tomei, Ornella Muti, Tim Curry, and Chazz Palminteri and was a rare attempt by Stallone at doing a comedy role. The film is directed as if it was a film of that time with humor and dialogue delivered in a manner reminiscent of old Hollywood comedies.

Cast

• Sylvester Stallone as Angelo "Snaps" Provolone is feared gangster who, at the beginning of the film, promises his dying father that he will give up a life of crime, and instead "go straight".
• Ornella Muti as Sofia Provolone: Snaps' wife.
• Marisa Tomei as Lisa Provolone: the only child of Snaps and Sofia. Lisa is a spoiled daughter whose dreams of seeing the world's great sights run into a roadblock because of her overly protective father. Wishing to move out of the house, she lies to her parents (at the suggestion of the maid, Nora) and claims to be pregnant.
• Vincent Spano as Anthony Rossano: the kind yet wily accountant of Snaps. Anthony's early morning arrival to the mansion sets all events in motion. Anthony tells his boss that he's in love, asks for a monumental raise, then tells Snaps the true love he speaks of is actually "Snaps's daughter." After Anthony professes his love for the daughter, Snaps agrees to let he and his daughter marry. What Anthony soon learns is this: The woman he fell in love with is not actually Snaps' daughter, but was merely pretending to be.
• Elizabeth Barondes as Theresa
• Tim Curry as Dr. Thornton Poole: a linguistics expert who arrives for an elocution lesson with Snaps. Poole is a world traveler, who giddily traverses the country in his studies of the sub-dialects of the English language.
• Peter Riegert as Aldo: Snaps's top man who took over the role of house butler when his boss went straight. Often underappreciated, Aldo tries to keep all the mansion henchmen in line in preparation for Snaps's important meeting with the bankers.
• Chazz Palminteri as Connie: a loyal but dim-witted button man for Snaps. Connie's penchant for carrying numerous weapons and his slow wits make for several humorous moments.
• Joycelyn O'Brien as Nora: the maid.
• Linda Gray as Roxanne: a replacement maid sent over by the service after Nora's sudden departure. Snaps recognizes Roxanne ("Roxy"), as the two are actually former lovers who had a fling many years ago, before Snaps became a gangster. Roxanne reveals she left Snaps one night because she was pregnant. She is extremely surprised to see her daughter in the mansion - Theresa. Connie then puts all the facts together and reveals that Theresa is actually Snaps' real daughter from a relationship 20 years ago.
• Martin Ferrero as Luigi Finucci: one of a pair of Italian tailors who arrive early to find Snaps the perfect suit for his important meeting. The Finucci's are constantly disrupted as problems around the house continue to occur.
• Harry Shearer as Guido Finucci: Luigi's brother. Snaps manages to convince Anthony that the Fenucci's are vicious assassins who will murder Anthony on a moment's notice should he step out of line.
• Kurtwood Smith as Lt. Toomey, Chicago PD
• Richard Romanus as Vendetti: a rival gangster of Snaps' who's worried at how quiet Snaps has been recently. Vendetti gathers a group of men and plans to assassinate Snaps in the early afternoon. His car full of men crashes near the house though, right in front of Lt. Toomey, who arrests the whole group.
• Kirk Douglas as Eduardo Provolone: Snaps' dying father who makes him promise to "go straight".
• Don Ameche as Father Clemente
• Jim Mulholland as Oscar
