Stanley Tucci is an award winning actor and filmmaker. Nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA for The Lovely Bones (2009). The list of outstanding performances is endless, The Hunger Games, Burlesque, The Terminal, and of course The Devil Wears Prada and Julie & Julia, alongside the inimitable Meryl Streep.
Not content with being brilliant on the big screen, Stanley has also won an Emmy for his TV show Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy.
Nick nervously serves Stanley a negroni and Angela prepares one of his favourite meals, spaghetti alle vongole, with clams, white wine, garlic, parsley and crispy pangrattato (toasted breadcrumbs). Stanley is a man of taste, he talks Italian cooking with Angela, the importance of a leather shoe with Nick and casually drops names like Ryan Reynolds, Cher and Judi Dench into conversation. Stanley Tucci is the epitome of a dream dinner party guest.

Nothing heals me more than Angela's laugh at the end
Cheers!
I have a secret crush on Angela ❤
It's the simplest cocktail. Equal parts gin campari and Italian vermouth.
Angela is adorable.
“Think about it…watery earwax”
Someone's enjoying to say Negroni a bit to much.
Stir dont shake
Angela is wearing lipstick for Stanley 😂
Stanley’s okay, just a little pompous for me
I adore how many times Stanley said “cheers.”
He reminds me of the bloke with the chicken shop on Breaking Bad
