Biography: Alessandro Antine Nivola (born June 28, 1972) is an American actor, perhaps best known for his roles in the films Best Laid Plans, Jurassic Park III, Face/Off, and the Goal! trilogy.

...( read more ) Nivola was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His father, Pietro S. Nivola, is a professor of political science who wrote the book "Laws of the Landscape: How Policies Shape Cities in Europe and America", and his mother is an artist. Nivola's paternal grandfather was the Italian sculptor Costantino Nivola and his paternal grandmother, Ruth Guggenheim, was a Jewish refugee from Germany. He has a brother, Adrian, and attended Phillips Exeter Academy, and earned a degree in English from Yale. Nivola is married to actress Emily Mortimer; the couple have a son, Samuel, born on September 23, 2003.

Nivola began his acting career while still an undergraduate at Yale, landing the leading role in a Seattle production of Athol Fugard's Master Harold... and the Boys. After college, Nivola debuted on Broadway in 1995 as the young lover of Helen Mirren in A Month in the Country. The next year he appeared in the 1996 NBC miniseries Danielle Steel's The Ring and landed his first film role as Joanna Going's preppy husband in Inventing the Abbotts before being cast as Nicolas Cage's paranoid schizophrenic brother in John Woo's Face/Off (both in 1997).

Nivola adopted a British accent to play a mystery man from former girlfriend Rachel Weisz's past in I Want You (1998), directed by Michael Winterbottom. He then appeared in the thriller Best Laid Plans and again as an Englishman in Patricia Rozema's screen version of yet another Jane Austen novel, Mansfield Park, both in 1999. He played a rock singer involved with his record producer, played by Frances McDormand, in the film Laurel Canyon. Nivola was one of the faces for the GAP's 2002 Ads campaign "For Every Generation".

Nivola had trained so hard for the filming of the Goal! trilogy that he has picked up a lot of skill and pace and was commended for his sudden burst of talent by the directors of Goal! 2. Nivola is currently acting as a son who has been jailed for one of his dad's crimes in the film Five Dollars a Day.
