Fulvio Cecere (born March 11, 1960) is a Canadian actor and filmmaker.
Born in Canada, he moved to Hawthorne, New Jersey, as a teenager and attended Hawthorne High School, graduating as part of the class of 1978. [1] Cecere attended Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles, but after one year he realized that acting, not law, was his true calling. He took acting classes at UCLA and starred in a wide array of television and feature film parts over the next few years.
He played the part of freelance detective Fred Durkin in the A&E Network's original film The Golden Spiders: A Nero Wolfe Mystery (2000) and the series A Nero Wolfe Mystery (2001–2002). He also starred as Det. Leon Vaughn in the 2001 slasher film Valentine. He also portrayed Lt. Thorne in Battlestar Galactica , Agent Sandoval in Dark Angel (2000–2002), and had recurring roles in TV series, including Tarzan , Tilt, Blade and Intelligence . His work in feature films includes roles in Paycheck , Assault on Precinct 13 , Cinderella Man , The Tortured and Watchmen .
Cecere's 2018 documentary film 350 Days includes interviews with 70 current and former professional wrestlers. The film, whose title references the number of days many wrestlers spend working each year, took five years to complete and resulted from an interest in wrestling that arose out of Cecere's work on Cinderella Man.

Nero Wolfe is a brilliant, obese and eccentric fictional armchair detective created in 1934 by American mystery writer Rex Stout. Wolfe was born in Montenegro and keeps his past murky. He lives in a luxurious brownstone on West 35th Street in New York City, and he is loath to leave his home for business or anything that would keep him from reading his books, tending his orchids, or eating the gourmet meals prepared by his chef, Fritz Brenner. Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's sharp-witted, dapper young confidential assistant with an eye for attractive women, narrates the cases and does the legwork for the detective genius.
