Harvey Keitel
Harvey Keitel (born May 13, 1939) is an American actor whose latest work is that of Detective Lieutenant Gene Hunt on ABC’s crime drama Life on Mars. He is widely known for the “tough-guy” characters he portrays and for his memorable roles from Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets and Taxi Driver, Ridley Scott’s The Duellists and Thelma and Louise, Jane Campion’s The Piano, Abel Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant, and James Mangold’s Cop Land. Keitel also starred in Red Dragon as FBI agent Jack Crawford.
Keitel studied under both Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg and at the HB Studio, eventually landing roles in some off-Broadway productions. During this time, Keitel met struggling filmmaker Martin Scorsese and gained a part in Scorsese’s student production, Who’s That 
Knocking at My Door. Since then, Scorsese and Keitel have worked together on numerous projects. Keitel had the starring role in Scorsese’s Mean Streets but this proved to be Robert De Niro’s breakthrough film. He later appeared with De Niro in Taxi Driver, playing the role of Jodie Foster’s pimp.
Originally, Keitel was to have played the role of Captain Willard in Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now; however, he was fired early in the production and replaced by Martin Sheen. After this, it was many years before he would be able to get anything other than minor roles. At the end of the 1970s, Keitel was mostly working in European films for directors such as Ridley Scott, usually in sinister character parts.
Keitel was formerly in a long-term relationship to actress Lorraine Bracco known for playing the psychiatrist Dr Jennifer Melfi in The Sopranos. He married actress Daphna Kastner in 2001. Keitel is the father of three children: daughter Stella (born 1985) from his relationship with Bracco; son Hudson (born 2001) from his relationship with Lisa Karmazin; and son Roman (born 2003) from his marriage to Kastner. He is godfather of close friend Michael Madsen’s son Max.
