TRIVIA:

Honed his acting ability by performing in plays given by the boys club, which was located near his home, in the lower east side of Manhattan.
Became the first member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to be expelled on Tuesday, Feb. 3 2004, under its new anti-piracy agreement.
(Jan, 2004) Named as a "person of interest" by the FBI looking into illegal copies of recently released films appearing on the Internet. Various studios traced the Internet copies of these films to Caridi, a member of the Academy who was supposed to use them for Oscar screening purposes. Russell William Sprague, 51, was subsequently arrested at his home in Homewood, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, where agents discovered hundreds of Academy screeners, many of them Caridi's, for recent and current movies in a search of his residence. Caridi denied receiving any money for the screeners. Caridi claimed that he thought Sprague was a "film buff" and had no knowledge that Sprague had duplicated the tapes.
Was 'Francis Ford Coppola' (qv)'s first choice to play Sonny Corleone in _The Godfather (1972)_ (qv).
