    Following a childhood working for the local

    mafia, Gallo began his professional career as a Formula II motorcycle racer. He went on to become a successful painter and musician, working with Jean-Michel Basquiat and Lukas Haas. Gallo later transitioned into the film and television industry, receiving small roles in works including The Equalizer (1985) and Goodfellas (1990). Gallo soon starred in films including Arizona Dream (1993), The House of the Spirits (1993), Palookaville (1995), The Funeral (1996), Stranded (2001), Tetro (2009), Metropia (2009), Essential Killing (2010), and The Legend of Kaspar Hauser (2012). As a filmmaker, he directed, wrote, and starred in three independent films: Buffalo '66 (1998), The Brown Bunny (2003), and Promises Written in Water (2010). Gallo has also directed and starred in numerous short films, including The Agent (2010), and several music videos, such as Going Inside and Cosmopolitan Bloodloss
    .

    In the early 2000s, Gallo also released several solo recordings on

    Yves Saint Laurent
    .

    Gallo's films have gained a cult following,[6][5] especially in Japan.[7] Film critics have frequently praised Gallo's acting performances, but remain divided on his directorial work. Conversely, many filmmakers and actors have acclaimed both Gallo's directorial work and performances.

    Early life

    Vincent Gallo was born on April 11, 1961, in Buffalo, New York to Vincent Gallo Sr. and Janet Gallo. He is the second of three children, having an older brother, Charles, and a younger sister, Janine.[8] Gallo was raised Catholic, and underwent his First Communion in 1969.[9]

    Gallo's parents are Sicilian and worked as hairdressers, with his father having retired to be "a gambler."[10] Gallo has described his parents as dishonest people, saying "If it was my birthday, I knew my mother took me to the

    K-Mart and she stole my toy. She'd put it in the shopping cart and we'd walk out. I was raised with that."[11] Growing up, Gallo's father was abusive and beat him on several occasions, including one instance where Gallo's father broke his nose. He has said that while growing up, his father was "this kind of dark, raging figurehead...That's not who he is today, but when I was a child there wasn't a day...when he didn't hit me, punish me, yell at me or tell me something I did wrong."[8] Gallo's mother also forbade him from decorating his own room, which he shared with his siblings and grandfather,[12] and from owning a guitar, leading Gallo to secretly hide the latter underneath his bed. Gallo has attributed his self-described controlling and perfectionist nature as a filmmaker to his childhood experiences.[12]

    At the age of 12, Gallo worked for the local mafia in Buffalo, helping them to perform small crimes, such as carjacking and shoplifting. Gallo worked for the mafia for approximately one year, and desired to continue down a life of crime and become a powerful gangster. However, he was eventually convinced by a mafia member, who felt that Gallo was wasting his potential, to abandon it in favor of a legitimate career.[13]

    After graduating from Sweet Home High School in 1978, Gallo left his home in Buffalo and ran away to New York City at the age of 16.[8][14] He took up various jobs, including ones working in a hi-fi guitar shop and as a restaurant dishwasher.[15]

    Gallo went on to race motorbikes professionally, without training, in Formula II.[16] Gallo performed at a professional level in Grand Prix racing,[17] racing for Yamaha,[13] but never won a national championship. In the 1980's, he raced 125cc and 250cc WERA bikes; and later performed his own racing scenes in his 2004 film The Brown Bunny. In the film, Gallo rides a gold Honda NSR250, which he personally designed.[18] He also went on to become a successful painter.[11]

    Film career

    20th century

    During Gallo's artistic period in the 1980s, when he worked as a musician and painter in New York City, he also began experimenting with film. Gallo created the short film "If You Feel Froggy, Jump" and appeared in the 1981 film

    Nénette et Boni (1996)."[19]

    In 1998, Gallo released his directorial debut film, Buffalo '66. The film received positive critical reception and was nominated for an award for "Best First Feature" at the Independent Spirit Awards.[19] Gallo made this drama for $1.5 million, serving as writer, director, lead actor, and composer/performer of the soundtrack. The release of Buffalo '66 "gained him a solid fan base."[19]

    During filming, Gallo had difficulties working with actress Christina Ricci, who starred in the film alongside him. According to Ricci, Gallo was a "crazy lunatic man" and did not get alongside her on the set. Ricci also said that Gallo mocked her weight several years after the film released, and that she has no interest in ever seeing his other films.[20] Gallo disputes Ricci's account, and in 2018, wrote "I still smile when I see a picture of her and when she insults me in the press it reminds me that we are connected in some way, and for that I am grateful. Christina Ricci was my friend during the filming of Buffalo 66 and working with her made sense and felt natural....I insulted her jokingly one day to a friend and a sneaky gossip writer overheard me. Christina and I have not spoken since."[1]

    2000s

    In 2001, Gallo again collaborated with Denis, and appeared in her film Trouble Every Day.[21]

    In 2003, Gallo starred in and directed the film

    colon cancer.[22] Ebert then responded – adapting a statement made by Winston Churchill – that, "although I am fat, one day I will be thin, but Mr. Gallo will still have been the director of The Brown Bunny."[23] In 2003, several media sources later reported that Gallo apologized to Ebert, but Gallo disputed this, saying "I never apologized for anything in my life...The only thing I am sorry about is putting a curse on Roger Ebert's colon. If a fat pig like Roger Ebert doesn't like my movie then I'm sorry for him."[24]

    In 2004, Gallo and Ebert appeared to have reconciled, and Ebert ended up giving a thumbs up to a re-edited version of The Brown Bunny.[25] However, in a 2018 article, written after Ebert's death, Gallo accused Ebert's review of the re-edited version as being "far fetched and an outright lie."[1]

    Gallo was strongly considered for and almost cast as Uncle Rico in the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite, though the role ultimately went to Jon Gries.[26]

    In 2008, Gallo was cast as the titular character in Francis Ford Coppola's drama film Tetro (2009).[27]

    2010s

    In 2010, Gallo won the

    Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the 67th Venice International Film Festival for his non-speaking role in Essential Killing. Gallo did not attend the ceremony to accept his award in person, leaving the duty to the film's director Jerzy Skolimowski, who tried to get the actor to reveal himself, leading the audience in a chant of his name. Gallo was not in attendance.[28][29]

    At the festival, Gallo's third feature film, Promises Written in Water, debuted. It was also screened once at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. The film received polarized and mostly negative reviews from critics, though several positive reviews cited it as one of the year's greatest films. The film was nominated for the Golden Lion.

    Gallo has stated that he has no plans to ever distribute the film and allow it to be seen again, as "I do not want my new works to be generated in a market or audience of any kind." He also added that allowing the film only ever being shown at two screenings was part of a deal he made with Delfine Bafort, who starred in the film.[30] Gallo explained in a 2011 interview that the film would be "allowed to rest in peace, and stored without being exposed to the dark energies from the public."[31] As of 2024, Promises Written in Water is not available to watch, and has not been screened since 2010.

    During the Venice festival, Gallo also released a short film, titled The Agent, which was nominated for Best Short Film. The Agent starred Sage Stallone, and has also only ever been screened twice, with Gallo having no plans to re-release it to the public.[1]

    In 2012, Gallo starred in Davide Manuli's The Legend of Kaspar Hauser, a modern-western interpretation of the German legend of Kaspar Hauser which premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Gallo plays the two largest roles in the film, the English-speaking Sheriff and the Italian-speaking assassin.[32] Later that year, he appeared in Julie Delpy's 2 Days in New York, in a cameo role as himself. In the film, Gallo appears as a Mephistopheles-like version of himself, who purchases the protagonist's (Delpy) soul, after she puts it up for auction.[33] Delpy wrote the role with Gallo specifically in mind, who agreed to the part after reading the screenplay.[34]

    In 2013, Gallo's website listed that he had directed, written, produced, and acted in his fourth feature film, April. It states that the film is 88 minutes long, stars Gallo as the lead character Seth Goldstone, and co-stars pornographic actor Jamie Gillis. The film has never been released, leading to speculation about the nature of the project.[35] That year, Gallo also co-starred with Kōichi Satō and Yoo Ji-tae in Junji Sakamoto's film, Human Trust.[36]

    2020s

    In 2022, Gallo appeared in D. J. Caruso's film Shut In. Released by The Daily Wire, Shut In marked Gallo's first acting role since 2013.[5]

    In 2024, it was revealed that Gallo is set to appear alongside actor James Franco in Jordan Gertner's upcoming film The Policeman, where Gallo will portray serial killer Joseph James DeAngelo. Gertner previously served as a producer for Buffalo '66 (1998).[37] The Policeman has completed filming and is now in post-production.[38]

    After filming, reports emerged that Gallo was anonymously accused by two actresses, who do not star in the film, of making lewd comments during auditions. Their allegation promoted an investigation by the Screen Actors Guild, who monitored the film's production. Gertner and the film's production company, Pacific Media Productions, both issued a statement in defense of Gallo. Their statement said that a intimacy coordinator was utilized during filming and that "the production of the picture was carried out in a safe, protective and respectful environment"; while adding that the film's cast and crew are "proud of the movie we have made."[38]

    Music and modeling career

    Music

    Gallo performing in 2005

    Gallo played electric bass and sang in the mid-1970s in several adolescent garage bands such as Blue Mood; a progressive rock cover band named Zephyr (not to be confused with the late 1960s band of the same name, or the 1980s Johnny Goudie-fronted band of the same name) which did one performance at Lincoln Park, Tonawanda, New York in 1978; The Good (with Bernie Kugel and Larry Galanowitz); The Detours; and the Plastics.[39] At the age of 16, Gallo moved to New York City and was a later member of the band Gray, with visual artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Gray played at clubs such as Max's Kansas City, CBGB's, Hurrahs, and the Mudd Club. A few of Gray's recordings appear on the soundtrack for the film Downtown 81.[40]

    In 1984, Gallo (using the name "Prince Vince") also appeared as a dancer on an unsold TV pilot for a

    During his childhood, Gallo was close friends with author William S. Burroughs, and lived in Burroughs' house for six months.[53] Gallo also knew poet John Giorno, who lived with Burroughs at the time. Throughout their lives, Burroughs and Gallo exchanged postcards, letters, and mixtapes.[12] Ohio State University holds one of Gallo's letters to Burroughs among its archival collection.[54]

    In 1984, Gallo was married to a woman for just 10 weeks, before their relationship ended.[11] He has also dated socialite Paris Hilton.[55] Gallo has held close friendships with musician Johnny Ramone (prior to Ramone's death in 2004),[56] musician John Frusciante,[57] and actress Milla Jovovich.[58]

    On May 24, 2001, Gallo successfully sued actor John Ventimiglia for assault and battery. The New York Supreme Court decided the case in Gallo's favor in Gallo v. Ventimiglia (2001).[59]

    Gallo has garnered fame for making incendiary and provocative comments. When once asked by an interviewer if he was Jewish, Gallo replied, "No, I do not have the Jew gene."[6] On his website, Gallo offers himself as an escort to women for $50,000; and sells his sperm for $1,000,000.[60] His website has been labeled as satirical by media outlets such as The Daily Wire,[5] and has drawn the scorn of other outlets, such as The Guardian.[61] Gallo has stated in interviews that his website and provocative statements are satire, and has mocked critics who have interpreted them as serious.[62][63]

    Politics

    Gallo is a lifelong

    anti-pornography views.[16]

    Gallo is a fan of U.S. President Richard Nixon, describing him as an "intellectual".[64] Gallo claims to have met Nixon when he was six years old, during the time when he lived with Burroughs.[6]

    In 2004, Gallo appeared in the documentary, Rated R: Republicans in Hollywood, discussing the political discrimination he has faced in the film industry as a conservative.[67] He also spoke at the Women's National Republican Club, where he expressed his support for President George W. Bush, saying that "you know the United States has a great President...when the French hate him!"[65] Later that year, Gallo also met Barbara Bush and Lauren Bush, attending a fashion show alongside them.[68]

    In 2018, Gallo expressed his support for President Donald Trump, writing that he is "extremely proud [Trump] is the American President."[1][69] In 2022, he also praised then-Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema as an "open minded and thoughtful" politician, who "adds productive ideological diversity and balance to our beautiful country";[50] and donated $250 to the campaign of Republican Representative Juan Ciscomani.[70]

    Views on film and music

    In 1998, Gallo listed Pier Paolo Pasolini as his favorite director, and Mauro Bolognini's Il bell'Antonio (1960) as his favorite film.[71] In 2009, Gallo instead listed Francis Ford Coppola's The Rain People (1969) as his favorite film.[72] He has cited Warren Beatty as one of his favorite actors,[73] as well as his "idol".[74]

    In a 1998 interview with Elvis Mitchell, Gallo explained that his taste in films is "hokey". He has listed The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976), All Fall Down (1962),[75] Lilith (1964), Mickey One (1965), The Ravine (1969), The Only Game in Town (1970), The Panic in Needle Park (1971), The Gambler (1974), The Death of Richie (1977), The Beyond (1981), and Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999) among his favorite films.[76][73][77] In his interview with Mitchell, Gallo also stated that his films are heavily inspired by music, describing Buffalo '66 as a "pure musical."[78] Gallo has also expressed a preference for mixing his films with a mono audio track, as opposed to surround sound.[79]

    Although a member,[80] Gallo has expressed disdain for the Screen Actors Guild, calling them "a self-serving union that has never had the best intentions of its membership in mind".[81]

    Gallo has cited King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King as his favorite album. He used the album's track Moonchild during a dance sequence in his film Buffalo '66.[82] He has also called the Ramones the greatest band of all time.[83]

    Public reception

    Gallo's acting performances have received generally positive reviews from film critics. Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club praised Gallo's performance in Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby as "ever-eccentric" and "profound".[84] Film critic Roger Ebert frequently praised Gallo's performances, including those in The Brown Bunny (2004),[85] Tetro (2009),[86] Essential Killing (2010),[87] and 2 Days in New York (2012).[88] Gallo's performance in Shut In (2022) was singled out and praised by Cath Clarke of The Guardian and John Semley of The New Republic, who gave the film itself negative reviews.[89][90]

    Gallo's directional work has received more polarized reception from critics. Buffalo '66 (1998) received generally positive reviews from critics, and was praised by Ebert,[91] Elvis Mitchell,[92] and Andrew Johnston.[93] Conversely, The Brown Bunny (2004) received mixed reviews. Ebert described the initial 119-minute festival cut of the film as the worst film in the history of Cannes, though later praised the 93-minute cut of the film, awarding it 3/4 stars.[85] Moria McDonald of The Seattle Times gave the film a negative review, calling it a "self-indulgent and seemingly endless road movie".[94] Manohla Dargis gave the film a mixed review, describing it as "Neither an atrocity nor a revelation".[95] Promises Written in Water (2010) received mostly negative reviews, including from Leslie Felperin of Variety,[96] Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reporter,[97] and Xan Brooks of The Guardian.[98] It received a mixed review from Scott Tobias of The A.V. Club,[99] and a positive one from Truls Lie of Modern Times Review.[100]

    In 2010,

    Les Cahiers du Cinéma voted The Brown Bunny (2004) one of the ten best films of the year;[102] while The Daily Telegraph listed it as one of the 100 "defining" films of the decade.[103]

    Gallo's directorial work has been acclaimed by many filmmakers and actors. The Brown Bunny (2004) has been praised by individuals including

    Josh Safdie,[105][106] Claire Denis,[107] and David Lowery.[108] Actor Robert Pattinson has also cited Gallo's performance in Arizona Dream as an early influence on his career.[109]

    Filmmaker

    Josh Safdie has also said that Gallo is "a genius. One of the smartest people I’ve ever met and known – funniest too";[106] while filmmaker Caveh Zahedi has written that Gallo is "one of the most talented directors of his generation".[77] Additionally, actor Kevin Corrigan has described Gallo as "really funny",[112] while actresses Chloë Sevigny,[104] Julie Delpy,[113] and Courteney Cox[114] have both spoken positively about their experiences working alongside Gallo. Actor Alden Ehrenreich has also praised Gallo as "fascinating".[115] Conversely, actress Christina Ricci described her experience with Gallo as "working with a crazy lunatic man", and vowed to never work with him again.[20]

    Entertainment Weekly has described Gallo as "rapturous, hilarious, and notoriously acerbic",[116] while The Independent has written that "Gallo may have an ego the size of a hot-air balloon, but even an hour in his company is wildly entertaining."[110] The Guardian has called him a "narcissistic, fantastic director"[117] and said that Gallo "has a reputation as not only one of the most paranoid, controlling men in movies, but also one of the funniest."[6] The Austin Chronicle has written that Gallo is "Equally detested and adored".[55] In 2011, GQ included Gallo on their list of The 25 Most Stylish Directors of All Time.[118]

    Among the general public, Gallo possesses a cult following, mostly relating to his films Buffalo '66 and The Brown Bunny.[6][5] Gallo's cult following remains especially popular in Japan, having begun shortly after Buffalo '66 was released in the country in 1999.[7] The Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Japan featured a survey of Gallo's art, titled the Vincent Gallo Retrospective 1977-2002, holding roughly 120 paintings, drawings and photographs by Gallo;[119] prior to its closure in 2021.

    In other media

    Gallo's popularity in Japan led to him appearing or being referenced in several Japanese video games, manga comics, and anime films.

    • In the 2000-2013 Japanese manga series, Gantz, one vampire character is visually modeled after Gallo.
    • In the 2001 Japanese anime film Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, Gallo visually served as the primary inspiration for the film's antagonist, Vincent Volaju.[120]
    • In the 2011 Japanese video game Catherine, the game's protagonist, Vincent Brooks, is loosely based on Gallo as he appeared in Buffalo '66.[121]
    • In the 2013 Japanese video game Killer Is Dead, Gallo is referenced.

In any case they seem to react harshly to things I say that they feel are offensive racially, religiously or regarding sexual preference. What is so odd to me is that if we are all equal and truly connected which I believe, then my remarks make no sense other than as humor. Yet my comments enrage so many who pantomime sensitivity in this regard.

It's so embarrassing to me that I've created, let's say, a vocabulary or a character that sort of mocks and mimics that stuff, because the only thing I find entertaining about it is in humor. ... So I play this role. I use these slurs or these outlandish concepts, which are so obviously meant to be funny or absurdist, at least absurdist. No hate group has ever reached out to me.
