Alessandro Federico Petricone, Jr. (February 29, 1936 – July 18, 2015), known professionally as Alex Rocco, was an American actor. Often cast as a villain, he is best known for his portrayal of Moe Greene in The Godfather and his Primetime Emmy Award for Supporting Actor in a Comedy for The Famous Teddy Z. He did a significant amount of voiceover work later in his career, and was known for his gravelly voice. He was also a member of the Bahá’í Faith.
Rocco also had a recurring part in the long running animated series The Simpsons as the head of Itchy and Scratchy Studios, Roger Meyers, Jr.. In DVD commentaries, Rocco had expressed true gratitude to The Simpsons’ staff for allowing him his first voice over role. He had also taken a part on an episode of Family Guy (in the episode “Mind Over Murder”, he had a memorable role as the masculine woman) and he was known for having played Charlie Polniaczek, Jo’s father on The Facts of Life.
From 1989 to 1990, Rocco was a regular on the television comedy series The Famous Teddy Z in which he played “Al Floss”, a slick cheesy Hollywood talent agent and foil to Jon Cryer in the title role, an ex-mailroom clerk turned super agent. Rocco received an Emmy Award as Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for this role. In 1997, he appeared (along with Rodney Dangerfield) in the annual Thanksgiving episode of the ABC sitcom Home Improvement.
