Philip Suriano
Philip Suriano (born 1948) is an American actor, probably best known for playing the doomed Dominic Santoro in Martin Scorsese's 1995 film Casino, based on real-life mobster Michael Spilotro. In Casino, he and his brother Nicky (Joe Pesci) are buried alive at a cornfield in Indiana after suffering a severe beating by baseball bats. Another small but notable appearance by Suriano was in 1989's Lethal Weapon 2 (also with Pesci) as L.A.P.D. Detective Joseph Ragucci, who makes a bet with Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and loses, but notably pays him with an illegal krugerrand.
