Frank Grillo

American actor and martial artist Frank Anthony Grillo was born on June 8, 1965 in New York. Grillo, who took on various roles both on the screen and in TV series, was best remembered for the character Nick Savrinn, whom he played in the first season of the TV series Prison Break. Grillo, who also appeared in television productions such as Blind Justice, gained a wide fan base by portraying the role of Crossbones in Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Grillo's career is based on a story that began in his youth. Born in New York to a working-class family of Italian descent, Grillo grew up in the Bronx and Rockland County. Grillo, who was introduced to wrestling at the age of eight, started boxing when he was eighteen. Grillo, who mastered Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has a brown belt, became a student of Rickson Gracie in this field.

Grillo, who also has a business administration degree from New York University, continued his career with a role in a Miller Genuine Draft beer commercial after working for a year on Wall Street. Grillo, who also has Italian citizenship, also talked about this in some of his interviews.

Grillo's private life was also quite active. The actor, who married his first wife Kathy in 1991, divorced in 1998 and had a son from this marriage, born in 1997. Grillo remarried in 2000 to fellow actress Wendy Moniz, whom he met on the set of Guiding Light in 1996, and from this marriage he had two sons, born in 2004 and 2008. The couple's marriage, which ended in 2020, received widespread media coverage.
