Dominic got his start as a musical-comedy performer. He still performs as a cabaret singer performing standards, ballads, and Italian folk songs. Graduated from the prestigious Bronx High School of Science. Last name (Chianese) pronounced Kin-ay-see. Italian-American. Once sang "A Fool Such as I" at the Grand Ole Opry. Chianese has the distinction of being the only actor to appear in the greatest mobster movie series (as Johnny Ola in Godfather II) and the greatest mobster TV series as a series regular (as Uncle Junior on the Sopranos). Richard Bright also appeared in both the Godfather series and the Sopranos TV series, although he is not a regular cast member of the sopranos. He joins Les Paul and Woody Allen as famous celebs who have regular music gigs in New York. Chianese's set includes mostly Italian favorites you might hear on the Sopranos. Dominic has a great voice, and incidentally helped one of his bandmates get a guest spot on the show this year at as well-wisher to an ailing Tony Soprano. Chianese's spot used to be the West Bank but he's been looking at other venues lately.
