Italian-American New York City actor and playwright Robert Glaudini made his film debut in
Lady Liberty (1971) (aka "La mortality"). Glaudini starred in two offbeat experimental features for underground independent filmmaker
Jon Jost: as the seedy private investigator "Frank Goya" in
Angel City (1977) and the titular scuzzy drug dealer in
Chameleon (1978). Glaudini gave a solid and engaging performance as edgy hero "Dr. Paul Dean" in the futuristic 3-D science fiction-horror flic
Parasite (1982). He was effectively nasty as the evil magician "DelGatto" in
The Alchemist (1983).
Other memorable cinematic roles are scientist "Dr. Wolf" in the quirky science fiction sleeper
Wavelength (1983), sleazy wrestling
promoter "Dr. Tweed" in
Grunt! The Wrestling Movie (1985), "FBI agent Nash" in the powerful
Mississippi Burning (1988), and creepy high school janitor "Shultz" in the fun teen slasher romp
Cutting Class (1989). Glaudini did guest spots on the TV shows
Hunter (1984) and
Crime Story (1986). Outside of his film and television work, he has had a long and distinguished stage career as both an actor and playwright. Glaudini has been a member of the New York stage ensemble "LAByrinth Theater Company" since 2004. He wrote the plays "The Poison Tree", "Dutch Heart of Man", and "Jack Goes Boating".
He is the father of actress
Lola Glaudini, and he portrayed her extremely dysfunctional father on three episodes of the TV series
NYPD Blue (1993), although they never appeared in the same episode.
