==Trivia==
*Despite his many acclaimed performances, Turturro has never been nominated for an [[Academy Award]].
*Turturro's last name is from the Italian ''tortora'' meaning "turtle-dove" (a name used in Italy in the past), a fact slyly alluded to in the ''Monk'' episode "Mr. Monk Goes Home Again" when Ambrose Monk (Turturro) tells Adrian's assistant Natalie (Traylor Howard) that their father named him Ambrose after his beloved pet turtle.
*Won an Emmy award for his portrayal of Adrian Monk's brother Ambrose Monk in the USA Network series ''Monk.''
