Carmine was born to Nancy and Dominick Giovinazzo and is of Italian, English, Norwegian and even Native American ancestry. He attended Port Richmond High School where he excelled at baseball. He later enrolled at Wagner College on a baseball scholarship, but a professional baseball career never happened due to a severe back injury, which took this dream away. Eventually, he turned himself toward acting, and after graduation spent some time with HB Studios where he honed his acting skills and primarily volunteered in several of its productions including starring in short motion picture “Conception” (1996) which provided the basis for his net worth.

In 1997, he relocated to Los Angeles, California, and was cast for the first kill victim in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” TV series. After this, his career became more lively, and he appeared in more demanding roles through the rest of the 1990s, including movies “The South End” (1997), “Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss” (1998) and “The Learning Curve” as well as “Pacific Blue” and the “Shasta McNasty” TV series. His first really notable role came in 1999, opposite Kevin Costner and John C. Reilly in the sport drama movie “For Love of the Game”. This was followed by the role of Goodale in Ridley Scott’s Oscar-winning war drama “Black Hawk Dawn” in 2001. All these engagements helped Carmine Giovinazzo to increase his net worth by a large margin.

In 2003 Carmine appeared in the gangster drama movie “Red Zone” while in 2004 he starred in the WWII drama movie “In Enemy Hands”. However, the real breakthrough in his acting career occurred later that year when he was cast for the one of the leading roles in the “CSI: NY” TV series, appearing in the role of Detective Danny Messer in 197 episodes through the show’s nine seasons to 2013. It is certain that this, almost ten-year-long performance provided the majority of Carmine Giovinazzo’s revenues.

Carmine Giovinazzo has also appeared in several memorable motion pictures such as “Platonically Incorrect” (2003), “Life Is Hot in Cracktown” and “Duke” (2013), and other TV series “Rude Awakening”, “Columbo”, “The Guardian” and “CSI: Miami”.
