From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Paul Picerni (born December 1, 1922 in New York City) is an Italian-American actor.
He was a first lieutenant and bombardier during the war assigned to the Asian theatre. After peace was declared he became special services officer in India. Following the war he enrolled at Loyola University at Los Angeles. As a young actor returning from World War II, he fought the war all over again in the 1950 movie Breakthrough. This led to a Warner Brothers contract for Picerni and a succession of roles at that studio including a starring turn as the hero in the 1953 horror classic House of Wax.
When Italian organizations began to complain about the use of Italian gangsters on TV's The Untouchables starring Robert Stack as G-man Eliot Ness, Picerni joined the cast of the show as Ness's number one aide, Lee Hobson, from 1960-63.
He married ballet dancer Marie Mason in 1947 and they have eight children together.
