Tucci, an Italian American,[1][2][3] was born in Peekskill, New York to Joan Tropiano, a retired secretary and writer,[4] and Stanley Tucci, Sr., a retired art teacher. His sister is actress Christine Tucci and his cousin is the screenwriter Joseph Tropiano. He grew up in Katonah, New York and attended John Jay High School. After high school, he studied at SUNY Purchase, from which he graduated in 1982.

Tucci made his Broadway debut in The Queen and the Rebels on 30 September 1982. His film debut was in Prizzi's Honor (1985). Tucci is known for his work in films such as Kiss of Death, Road to Perdition, and Big Night, and in the television series Murder One as the mysterious Richard Cross. Big Night (1996), which he co-wrote with his cousin, Joseph Tropiano, starred in, and directed with Campbell Scott, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The film also featured his sister, Christine Tucci, and mother, who wrote a cookbook for the film. Tucci is often cast as a heartless bureacrat, a mean-spirited character, or the 'bad guy', yet by accounts he is an approachable and affable person. Occasionally this has translated into other kinds of roles for Tucci where he'll play a friend as he played mentor to Anne Hathaway's character in The Devil Wears Prada.

He has been nominated twice for Golden Globes, and won both times -- for his title role in Winchell (1998), and for his supporting role as Adolph Eichmann in Conspiracy (2001), both for HBO films. He also received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Winchell. He was nominated for Broadway's Tony Award as Best Actor in a Play for his role as Johnny in the 2002 revival of Terrence McNally's Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune.

In July of 2006, Tucci made an appearance on the USA Network TV series Monk. Tucci's latest TV series, the medical drama 3 lbs., debuted on CBS in the 10:00 PM EDT time slot on November 14, 2006. It was cancelled on November 30, 2006 due to low ratings. Tucci is the voice of Cingular Wireless/AT&T. He can be heard as the voice over in their "Raising the Bar" campaign.

Tucci lives in Westchester County, New York with his wife, Kate, and their three children, twins Isabel and Nicolo, and Camilla. In addition to acting, Tucci is co-owner of the Finch Tavern restaurant in Croton Falls, New York.[5]
