Ralph Bellamy was a veteran actor who was so well-liked and respected by his peers that he was the recipient of an honorary Oscar in 1987 for his contributions to the acting profession. Ralph Rexford Bellamy was born June 17, 1904 in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Lilla Louise (Smith), originally from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and Charles Rexford Bellamy, who had deep roots in New England. Bellamy began his career as a player right out of high school in 1922, joining a traveling company that put on Shakespearean plays. For the next five years he appeared with stock companies and repertory theaters associated with the Chautauqua Road Co., which brought culture to the hinterlands. He not only learned his craft but by 1927 wound up owning his own theatrical troupe. Two years later he made his Broadway theatrical debut in "Town Boy" (29 years later he would win a Tony Award). Bellamy made the first of his over 100 films in 1933, appearing as a gangster in The Secret 6 (1931). While he never became a major star or played many leads in "A" pictures, he made a career out of playing second-leads in major productions before developing into a character actor. In his heyday he typically played a rich but dull character who is jilted by the leading lady (he won his only Oscar nomination, for Best Supporting Actor, for just such a role in the 1937 comedy The Awful Truth (1937), in which he lost Irene Dunne to Cary Grant). He also specialized in redoubtable detectives who always find their man (he starred as Ellery Queen in a series of four "B" movies) and as slightly sinister yet stylish villains (such typecasting reaching its apogee with his turn as the not-so-kindly doctor in the horror classic Rosemary's Baby (1968)). Bellamy's greatest role was as Franklin D. Roosevelt in Dore Schary's play "Sunrise at Campobello," for which he won a 1958 Best Actor-Dramatic Tony Award. He also reprised his portrayal of Roosevelt in Schary's 1960 movie adaptation of his play Sunrise at Campobello (1960), which brought his co-star Greer Garson a Golden Globe award and a Best Actress Academy Award nomination for playing Eleanor Roosevelt. To play F.D.R. and show his struggle with the onset of polio, Bellamy studied up on Roosevelt as both man and politician, gaining an insight into the future president's psyche. Like Method actors Marlon Brando and Jon Voight, who prepared for their portrayals of paraplegic war veterans in the movies The Men (1950) and Coming Home (1978) by living in veterans hospitals with paraplegics, Bellamy tried to understand the trauma that F.D.R. underwent and the challenges he faced. Bellamy spent a considerable amount of time at a rehabilitation center learning how to master leg braces, crutches and a wheelchair to increase the verisimilitude of his portrayal of Rosevelt. So successful was his portrait of Roosevelt that he was called upon a generation later to recreate F.D.R. for the blockbuster TV miniseries War and Remembrance (1988) (ironically, Voight himself would later play F.D.R. in the movie Pearl Harbor (2001)). Bellamy also had a prolific career on television, beginning with his 1948 debut in The Philco Television Playhouse (1948). He starred in one of the first TV police shows, Man Against Crime (1949), which was on the air from 1949-54, and later had roles in several other TV series, including The Eleventh Hour (1962), The Survivors (1969) and The Most Deadly Game (1970). He also appeared in countless TV-movies and tele-plays, and was three times nominated for an Emmy Award. Known as a champion of actors' rights, Bellamy was one of the founders of the Screen Actors Guild, and also served four terms as President of Actors' Equity from 1952 to 1964. He took office during some of the darkest days of McCarthyism, but positioned Actors' Equity and thus, the Broadway theater to the left of Hollywood by resisting blacklisting. Many of those blacklisted in Hollywood found homes in the theater. Under Bellamy, Actors Equity established standards to protect members against charges of Communist Party membership or "exhibiting left-wing sympathies". (One of the charges levied against legendary stage and film director Elia Kazan, including Rod Steiger at the time Kazan received an honorary Oscar, was that he should have defied the House Un-American Activities Committee and not have named names because he could have remained employed in the theater even if he had been blacklisted in Hollywood.) Under Bellamy's leadership, Actor's Equity managed to double its assets within the first six years of his presidency and was successful in establishing the first pension fund for actors. It was for his services to the acting community that he was the recipient of an honorary Academy Award in 1987. Ralph Bellamy died on November 29, 1991 in Santa Monica, California. He was 87 years old.

When a person comes to a crossroads in their life and it looks like a dead end then you have to reinvent yourself, or as the great Yogi said " when you come to a fork in the road take it", well that's what Ralph Bracco did back in 2008 .While working for the same company for 30 years they started to downsize and Ralph found himself with an unexpected and ill-timed early retirement. So he figured he would give acting a shot, a passion of his that was buried deep inside him. With no formal training except for some roles in some elementary school skits tucked under his belt he answered an ad for an independent film that needed an extra to play a cop, a character that would be one of his favorites to portray. He found himself back in his old neighborhood in Queens on set with two veteran actors Sally Kirkland and James Murtaugh, a little star struck he caught the bug and hasn't got rid of it since. Without taking any acting lessons he feels that he has been schooled by growing up watching some of the best actors of our time in both TV and Film and draws from that along with watching and listening on all projects he works on, whether being an extra or featured artist he is always observing and listening all the time on set. He brings that raw NY type of acting to all the projects he works on. Growing up in Queens during the 60's and 70's he feels he can relate to some of his characters and brings that across in some of his work. Ralph has had numerous roles in Movies ,TV and Commercials along with Music videos and some of the Independent and Foreign Films he has worked on have shown at the Cannes and Tribeca film Festival's along with working on numerous Web Series, and still working on some student films to fine tune his craft "you never know when you could be working with the next great director and this business is all about connections and networking" His roles range from playing police officers or detectives to doctors, lawyers, blue collar types as construction worker or cabby to probably his favorite, a wise guy He also truly enjoys being part of period piece productions "It not only gives you a chance to act the character but also relive a point in time ". Some shows he has been part of are Boardwalk Empire, Law & Order SVU ,Vinyl, The Deuce and numerous Discovery ID and History Channel productions such as Perfect Murder, Scorned, My Dirty Little Secrets, Men Who Built America , Mobster Confession , Inside the American Mob and I Married a Mobster ,Recently he has worked in South America with an Emmy Nominated Director for a upcoming mini series for the History Channel portraying a very well known mobster. Some movies have been Desperate Endeavors, Wolves of Wall Street, Shadow Recruit, Revenge of the Green Dragons ,The Normal"s , and Short films Night of the Pumpkin and Frankie the Green Card Lottery. Also some commercials and print work which include ,Media Com Cable , Blue Point Brewery and Publishers Clearing House and the promo for season 2 of Mob Wives along with a number of regional spots. He also is involved with playing many characters in a Dinner Theater Murder Mystery production of Murdered by the Mob which is one of NY longest running theater shows. Ralph enjoys bringing different looks to his roles along with a variety of accents he also has a love of music and plays the guitar and drums. In the future he would enjoy rounding out his roles to include comedy and drama along with taking some acting classes. Ralph is very excited and looking forward to really getting bigger and prominent roles with each passing project and more confidence in his performances. If anything he feels he has got an edge,after all he is a true New Yorker....
