Tony Shalhoub

AKA Anthony Marcus Shalhoub

Born: 9-Oct-1953
Birthplace: Green Bay, WI

Gender: Male
Race or Ethnicity: Middle Eastern
Occupation: Actor

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Monk, Men In Black, etc.

Tony Shalhoub plays the obsessive-compulsive hyper-phobic detective Adrian Monk on TV's Monk with Traylor Howard. In real life, he likes Edgar Allan Poe and says he is frightened by white rappers. He was in two sitcoms before Monk, playing the romantic-minded taxi driver Antonio Scarpacci on Wings with Timothy Daly and Steven Weber, and an eccentric author watched over by editor Neil Patrick Harris on Stark Raving Mad.

Among his memorable movie roles, Shalhoub played a short-tempered Hollywood executive in Barton Fink with John Turturro, a temperamental Italian chef in charming low-budget drama Big Night with Stanley Tucci, a DNA broker in Gattaca with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, an amusing caricature of Scotty in the sci-fi-comedy Galaxy Quest with Tim Allen, a very strange pawnbroker in Men in Black with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, a fast-talking lawyer in The Man Who Wasn't There with Billy Bob Thornton, and a delightfully evil megavillain in all three Spy Kids films with Alexa Vega. Though his name is misspelled in the credits for the popular video game Fallout, Shalhoub provided the voice for Aradesh, who wants to tell players that his daughter Tandi has been kidnapped.

Shalhoub was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where, he says, his family comprised the city's entire Lebanese-American community. He was six years old when he made his first stage appearance, a small role as one of the kids in his older sister's high school production of The King and I. He studied drama at Yale, then spent four years working with a playhouse in Cambridge, Mass. He met his wife Brooke Adams when they both appeared in a 1989 production of The Heidi Chronicles on Broadway, and he made his film debut as the doctor in the AIDS drama Longtime Companion with Bruce Davison.

His wife's most famous film was the excellent 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland. Her sister, Shalhoub's sister-in-law, is actress and playwright Lynne Adams, who played Rick's mother on The Guiding Light in the 1960s and '70s. His cousin is Chicago disc jockey Jonathon Brandmeier, famous for on-air prank calls, and his nephew, Mike Matzdorff, is a film editor in Hollywood. Most of this extended family was involved in the one film Shalhoub has directed, Made-Up, a little-seen but enchanting comedy about aging women.

I love this show! The last episode with Snoop Dogg was awesome!

I loved it.

I love Monk. Everything he does is so awesome. I just love it at the end of all the episdoes he says, "here's what happened..."

I could have sworn Monk already had a thread.


But I love the show. I've been watching it ever since the first episode aired. I watch it with my mommy almost every Friday and we try to guess what will happen because we're cool like that. \o/

Lol.I kinda watch it sometimes but then I miss it alot.

Hardy and Moore Diva:

Lol.I kinda watch it sometimes but then I miss it alot.

Same situation.

I used to always tape a show just to watch Monk but both shows were kinda my fave and I had to watch them all when they were on.

Have you guys heard of The Randy Disher Project??

Lol, yeah.

Anyone start watching the new season?

Shadow of a Doubt:

Lol, yeah.

Anyone start watching the new season?

Yeah.

I do not like this new psychiatrist. I miss Stanley Kamel.

I know me too.

Oh my gosh, a few years back I used to watch monk all of the time - I probably was bordering on obsessed. I remember being really sad when Shirona(sp?) left the show

I'm sad there are only a couple episodes of Monk left! D=

I'm not sad that Sharona left, though. I like Natalie way better. She doesn't look like a hooker straight out of the '80's. (:

I hope he finds Trudy's killer before the show ends. I <3 Monk. He's adorably quirky.

OMG! I know. This is like the only show I have seen every episode of before it ended. And I don't want it to end! Like, I might start watching a show's reruns but the show is already over. Does that make sense?

Did anyone watch the first part of the finale? They better not kill him off!

Shadow of a Doubt:

Did anyone watch the first part of the finale? They better not kill him off!

They won't kill Monk. I know it.

I was only half paying attention to it because I was busy, but I think Trudy's killer might be the judge they were talking to that might be getting a job in Sacramento.

Shadow of a Doubt:

They won't kill Monk. I know it.

I was thinking the same thing about the judge.

I looked it up and a lot of people are thinking he's being poisoned through his wipes.
