Santo Fazio

Santo Fazio’s filmography is a bit like a box of hidden gems—maybe not household name level, but if you know, you know. The guy’s popped up in some surprisingly memorable flicks. Take The Accidental Husband (2008) for starters. That one’s a rom-com swirl with Uma Thurman and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Fazio’s role—while not smack in the middle of the chaos—brings this everyday authenticity, like he just wandered onto set from a real New York street. The movie itself is all tangled relationships, mistaken identities, and that classic “love isn’t what you planned” hiccup. It’s fluffy, sure, but it’s got charm. Then there’s Broken English (2007). This one’s not your average love story—way more indie, a little rough around the edges. Parker Posey basically carries the movie, but again, Fazio’s there, blending into the fabric of these lost, wandering souls in New York. The film digs into what it’s like to be single and searching in your thirties, with all the awkward dinners, weird dates, and “what am I doing with my life?” moments. Fazio’s presence isn’t loud, but it’s real—he’s that guy you recognize, even if you can’t place the name. Wonderland (2000) rounds out the trio, veering into drama territory. Set in a world that’s slightly off-kilter, it’s got this gritty vibe, like everyone’s fighting their own private battles. Fazio doesn’t steal scenes, but he fits—one of those actors who makes the world of the film feel lived-in. Altogether, his credits may fly under the radar, but honestly, they’re proof he knows how to pick a project with some bite.
