Tony Luke Jr.

Most Philadelphians know Tony Luke Jr as the proprietor of one of the city's most well liked cheesesteak shops. What they may not know is that ever since he found success as a business owner he's been searching for a sweet piece of side success with his first love: acting. Up next for Luke? A starring role along side Tony Danza and William Forsythe in The Nail: The Story of Joey Nardone. From imdb:
After high school, while performing in local theater, Tony's interests swayed more and more toward music. Tony began to get more involved in the writing and singing of music in the 80s. He wrote songs for Brandi Wells and Motown artist AC Black. He also wrote and performed songs in his own groups such as "Off The Streets", "AJ Spats", and "Too Cool Project". In 1992 he opened up a sandwich shop in South Philadelphia, with his father, Tony, and his brother, Nicholas, called Tony Luke's. While doing local commercials for his store, Tony was once again bitten by the acting bug. In 1997 Tony decided to pursue his acting career again.
So, there's that. You may also remember him as "Guy with Cape at tryouts" from 2006's Invincible.
