詹尼·鲁索 （Gianni Russo） 的背景非常模糊，据他描述，其中包括担任拉斯维加斯夜总会司仪、电台名人和珠宝大亨，以及相对较少的表演经验，詹尼·鲁索 （Gianni Russo） 在《教父》（1972 年）中赢得了卡洛·里齐 （Carlo Rizzi） 的角色基于他的银幕测试。从那以后，罗素一直忙于演员，主要扮演各种“智者”和黑手党类型。他再次与马龙·白兰度一起出现在《新生》（1990 年）中的一个小角色中，白兰度模仿了他的唐·柯里昂角色，效果很好。IMDb 迷你传记 作者：鲍勃·索伦蒂诺

With a singularly nebulous background, which, by his account, included stints as a Las Vegas nightclub emcee, radio personality, and jewelry tycoon, and comparatively little acting experience, Gianni Russo won the role of Carlo Rizzi in The Godfather (1972) on the basis of his screen test. Since then, Russo has remained busy as an actor, mostly playing assorted "wiseguys" and Mafia types. He was appeared again with Marlon Brando in a small role in The Freshman (1990) in which Brando parodied his Don Corleone role to good effect. IMDb Mini Biography By: Bob Sorrentino
