Career

Mantegna made his debut as an actor in the Chicago version of "Hair" in 1969. Then, in 1978, he made his Broadway debut with "Working." During this time, he wrote a number of plays and debuted in a few tiny cinema parts. After playing Richard Roma in "Glengarry Glen Ross," which marked the beginning of his long collaboration with David Mamet, he received his big break.

During the 1980s, he starred in several plays, including "Compromising Positions," "Weeds," "The Money Pit," and "Suspect," as well as an episode of "The Twilight Zone."

In the 1990s, Mantegna appeared in a variety of parts, demonstrating his amazing versatility. From comedic parts to villains and mobsters, Joe seemed capable of anything. Joe's portrayal of Joey Zasa, a vicious Italian mobster, in "The Godfather III" marked a significant advancement. During this time, he also appeared in another Mamet film titled "Homicide." Joe began voicing Fat Tony in "The Simpsons" at this time, infamously insisting on doing so regardless of the character's limited lines. He is also well-known for his voice acting in shows such as "Kim Possible."

Mantegna is probably most known to modern fans for his portrayal as David Rossi on "Criminal Minds." He had a significant role in the series from its beginning in 2007 until its conclusion in 2020.

Real Estate

Joe bought a house in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Toluca Lake for $1,580,000 back in 1991. The house had just been built in 1989, so when Mantegna moved in, it was pretty much brand new. Then, for the next 30 years, he and his wife Arlene lived in the house. In 2020, they finally said they were going to move. They put the property on the market at this point for $4.2 million. People have said that the Tudor-style home with four bedrooms is a "private estate." There are big rooms, a lot of space, a lot of natural light, an office, and a pool.

Joe and his wife bought another home in Hollywood Hills two years before they put this one on the market. In 2018, Mantegna bought this Spanish bungalow for $1.3 million and was very proud to call it his home. The house was built in 1926, and it has a long and interesting history. It is said that Rick Baker, Jack Warner, Kathryn Leigh Scott, and even a Playboy Bunny once lived there.

The house has a living space of 1,700 square feet, two bedrooms, and a 16-foot wood ceiling. A corner fireplace, a private terrace, and a large balcony with a view of the backyard are also included. Mantegna also bought a beachfront home in Oxnard, California, for $4.9 million two years before this one.
