Gino Dentie is a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who grew up on the Lower East Side in a traditional Italian family. His love for music was first
noticed at the age of 4 and he moved to Los Angeles at age 15 to pursue a
singing career. By late 1970 Dentie and his band "The Family"
recorded a hit album titled: "Gino Dentie Direct Disco" sold under the
label: Crystal Clear Records. Dentie and his band toured the entire
United States during the height of the disco era. Then decided to go
solo where he worked alongside many of the most well known musicians
of that era. Dentie landed his first acting job in a supporting
role in the film "Hamburger" partly because he built and still owns The
Guiness Book of World Record's "World's Longest Car" Since landing that
role, Dentie got the "bug" so to speak and hence began a very
prosperous career to date; working with such actors as: Christopher
Walken, Michael Madsen, Jeff Conaway, Dennis Hopper, Rod Steiger, Chaz
Palmenterri,Bobby Gallo, Michael Rosenbaum, Abe Vigoda, David Proval,
Ricky Schroeder just to name a few. Most recently he is
co-starring alongside Bad Santa actor Tony Cox in a new film titled "The Mail Man". Dentie also just finished the Rock-On road show at
The Variety Theatre Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada. Dentie
continues to stay involved in many aspects of the film and music
industry, writing a new animation show, recording a new album as he
always dreamed of doing.
