Tony Rosato: Gone to the big TV Studio Kitchen in the Sky

Tony Rosato (December 26, 1954 – January 10, 2017) was an Italian-Canadian actor and voice actor who appeared in television and movies in both Canada and the United States.

Rosato was born in Naples, Italy, and raised in Halifax, Ottawa, and Toronto. He planned to study chiropractic medicine, but dropped out of the University of Toronto after he began doing improv comedy at The Second City. Rosato first gained attention when he and Robin Duke joined the cast of the first incarnation of SCTV in its final season during the fall of 1980. His most well-known character on the program was a notoriously drunk TV chef named Marcello Sebastiani.
