Biography
Jay Giannone grew up in the Old Harbor Projects of South Boston. In 2006 he served as technical advisor to Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio on the feature film "The Departed," offering his insights on South Boston's Irish mob politics. Giannone's perspective contributed significantly to DiCaprio's grasp of the role of ‘Billy,' an undercover State Police officer.
In 2009 he wrote and directed "Diamond In The Rough," a short film which won the Boston Film Night Audience Award. That same year he also wrote, directed, produced and starred in the full length feature "Scalpers" based on his real life experience as a sports ticket scalper in Boston. As an actor, he has appeared in several television shows including the HBO hit series "Entourage" which was based on the real Hollywood life experience with childhood friend Mark Wahlberg. His feature film roles include box office hits "Confidence," "Gone Baby Gone," "Three Kings" and "The Game Plan." Giannone also starred in "The Iceman," directed by Ariel Vromen.
