Biography:Catholic University was the alma mater of American actor "Philip Bosco" -- or would have been if he hadn't been expelled. Bosco would not collect a college degree until age 27, after a long stint as an Army cryptographer. Most comfortable in classical stage roles, Bosco has found it expedient to don modern garb for most of his movie work. After a one-shot screen appearance in 1968's "A Lovely Way to Die", Bosco didn't step before the movie cameras again until 1983, making up for the lost years with supporting appearances in such films as "Trading Places" (1983), "The Pope of Greenwich Village" (1984), "Three Men and a Baby" (1987), "Working Girl" (1988) and "Shadows and Fog" (1992). "Philip Bosco" won a Tony Award for his performance in the popular door-slamming farce Lend Me a Tenor. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
