| 3 | Robert John Davi (born June 26, 1951 in Queens, New York) is an American actor, singer and director. |

| 5 | Born of Italian-American parents, he trained in both dramatic arts and classical singing. Acting-wise, he's appeared in TV and film since the late [[TheSeventies '70s]] but is probably best remembered for his supporting and villainous roles in action films of the [[TheEighties '80s]] and [[TheNineties '90s]]. Among his best known roles are ruthless [[TheCartel drug lord]] Franz Sanchez in the [[BloodierAndGorier bloodiest]] ''Film/JamesBond'' film to date, ''Film/LicenceToKill'', and FBI Agent Bailey Malone on the Creator/{{NBC}} crime series ''Series/{{Profiler}}''. |

| 7 | Davi is also an accomplished {{opera}} singer and has even veered into {{jazz}} crooner territory since TheNewTens. No less an authority than Music/QuincyJones said of him: "I have never heard anyone come this close to [[Music/FrankSinatra Sinatra]]'s sound and still be himself. Many try, but Robert Davi has the voice, tone, the flavor, and the swagger." Coincidentally enough, Davi made his screen debut alongside Sinatra in the 1977 MadeForTVMovie ''Contract on Cherry Street''. |
