Education

Shalhoub's father's family is from Lebanon and the American Midwest. Tony was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin. His father emigrated from Lebanon to the United States as an orphan at the age of ten. He later married Shalhoub's mother, a second-generation Lebanese-American, and founded a family company from the humble start of one grocery store in the center of Green Bay. Tony graduated with a bachelor's degree in drama from the University of Southern Maine in Gorham, and earned a masters degree from the Yale School of Drama in 1980.

Shortly thereafter, he moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts where he spent four seasons with the American Repertory Theatre before heading to New York City, where he found work waiting tables before eventually moving onto Broadway. His role in Conversations With My Father earned him a Tony nomination, and in another Broadway production he would meet his future wife.

The role was actually Shalhoub's first audition when he arrived in Los Angeles, and he was pleasantly surprised to land the role.

Among his film roles include a fast talking lawyer in The Man Who Wasn't There, a sleazy pawn shop owner in the Men In Black films, a money hungry attorney in A Civil Action, a widowed father in 13 Ghosts and a has been television star in Galaxy Quest. He most recently appeared with Alec Baldwin in the Hollywood satire The Last Shot as a gruff small time mobster with a love for movies.
