He first came to attention as a burglar in the engrossing Panique à Needle Park (1971), and then followed it the following year playing a slick con artist hustling naive Ali MacGraw for the bank robbery loot in Guet-apens (1972), before Steve McQueen pummels Bright to get the money back.In 1972, he made his first appearance as bodyguard/enforcer "Al Neri", protecting Al Pacino in Le Parrain (1972), and returned in the same role in Le Parrain, 2ᵉ partie (1974) and, 16 years later, he was back once again still protecting mob boss Al Pacino in Le parrain, 3e partie (1990). The actor's features endeared him to casting agents looking for both criminals and cops. He also appeared in Sergio Leone's Il était une fois en Amérique (1984), Sam Raimi's crazy Mort sur le gril (1985), the union tale Jeux d'influence (1992) and La famille trahie (1998).
