Stanley Tucci: Actor, Chef, and More

Stanley Tucci is a multi-talented actor, writer, producer, and director with a career spanning decades. Here are some 'fried facts' (fun, crispy tidbits) about him:

1. He’s a Published Cookbook Author

Tucci isn’t just an actor—he’s a serious foodie. He wrote The Tucci Table: Cooking With Family and Friends (2014) and Tucci Cookbook (2021), sharing his love for Italian cuisine.

2. He Lost His Taste for a While

After radiation treatment for tongue cancer (2017), Tucci temporarily lost his sense of taste—a nightmare for a food lover. Thankfully, it returned, and he’s since become an advocate for cancer awareness.

3. His Family Ran an Art School

Tucci grew up in Katonah, New York, where his parents ran an art school. His mother was a writer, and his father was an art teacher—so creativity runs in the family.

4. He Played a (Literal) Devilish Role

In The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Tucci played Nigel, Miranda Priestly’s (Meryl Streep) sharp-witted art director. The role earned him widespread acclaim for his scene-stealing charm.

5. He Directed a Film About Food (Of Course)

Tucci made his directorial debut with Big Night (1996), a critically acclaimed film about two Italian immigrant brothers running a restaurant. It’s now a cult classic among food-loving cinephiles.

6. He Was Almost George Clooney’s Ocean’s Eleven Role

Tucci was originally cast as Terry Benedict, the casino owner, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. The role went to Andy Garcia instead.

7. He’s a Wine Connoisseur

Tucci loves wine so much that he hosted Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy (2021–2023), a CNN travel/food series exploring Italy’s regional cuisines—earning him an Emmy.

8. He Played Both a Villain and a Hero in The Hunger Games

Tucci portrayed the flamboyant TV host Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games series, but in real life, he’s a vocal advocate for humanitarian causes.

9. He’s Been Married Twice—Both to Family Friends

His first wife, Kate Tucci (née Spath), was a childhood friend’s sister. After her tragic death from breast cancer (2009), he later married Felicity Blunt, Emily Blunt’s sister.

10. He’s a Classically Trained Stage Actor

Before Hollywood fame, Tucci performed in Shakespearean theater, including The Comedy of Errors at New York’s Public Theater.

Bonus Fried Fact:

Tucci once joked that if he weren’t an actor, he’d be a chef—and given his culinary skills, he probably could’ve been a great one!
