He was discovered while swimming at Jones Beach by talent scouts who were searching for Robert De Niro look-alikes. It was his impersonation of De Niro from Taxi Driver (1976) that won him the role of young Calogero.
At four months of age, he was adopted and subsequently raised in Yonkers, New York.
His brother, Vincent Brancato, had a small part in "A Bronx Tale." Vincent was one of the boys who jumped onto the back of the bus driven by Robert De Niro (he was the one closest to the screen).
Parents are Lillo Brancato Sr. and Domenica Brancato. Younger brother is Vincent.
In December 2005, he was arrested and hospitalized after he and a friend were shot by an off duty police officer while the officer was investigating a burglary in New York City. The officer was killed and Brancato and his friend face murder charges.
Seemed to listen more to Sonny (Chazz Palminteri) than his fictional father Lorenzo Anello (Robert De Niro) from A Bronx Tale (1993) as he was shot several times by a police officer in December 2005 after breaking into a home with his friend. He could face murder charges.
