Capodice, a prolific character actor, has well over 150 credits to his name on IMDb extending from 1978 to 2024. Among the many shows he’s appeared in, Capodice had recurring roles in “Ryan’s Hope,” “General Hospital,” “Diagnosis Murder” and “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.” Other shows he appeared in include “Spencer: For Hire,” “Moonlighting,” “Murphy Brown,” “Law & Order,” “Living Single,” “Melrose Place,” “Mad About You,” “Boy Meets World” and “Will & Grace.” Fans of “Seinfeld” may also remember Capodice from the 1991 episode “The Revenge,” in which he played the owner of a laundromat that Kramer attempted to sabotage, believing Capodice’s character to have stolen $1,500 from a laundry bag.

No stranger to the big screen, Capodice’s movie credits include “Wall Street,” “Family Business,” “The Doors,” “Speed,” “Independence Day” and “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” the latter of which placed him in scenes opposite Jim Carrey.
