Bobby Cannavale said yes to every role at 28. At 55, he guards his time — and his family’s privacy.
“I’ve been really fortunate to get to do this job to support myself and make a living,” the "Scarpetta" star says. But family (and a bearded dragon) come first.
At 28, Bobby Cannavale felt like he was already behind.
While some of his contemporaries were landing movie roles as teenagers, the future Emmy winner was still working in a bar and waiting for his big break. “A lot of the people I’m friends with now had already hit,” he tells Yahoo, pointing to pal Ethan Hawke.
So he did what many actors do in the early years: He said yes. To everything. Whether the role was safe or unconventional didn't matter. The goal was experience — and the strategy paid off. A steady stream of roles on shows like Sex and the City, Third Watch, Oz, Ally McBeal and Will & Grace built a résumé that would eventually stretch across television, film and Broadway.
“I just wanted to work,” Cannavale says. “I didn’t have any training.”
It’s a mindset that helped launch a long career approaching three decades, even if his perspective on the grind has evolved since then.
“I love acting,” he says, but admits he doesn’t love “working.” What he means by that is all the extras that come with being a working actor: the travel, the outside obligations — yes, even a press tour like this one.
Why? Because these days, the center of gravity is home, where Cannavale and partner Rose Byrne are raising two young sons together: Rocco, 10, and Rafa, 8. He says the real work happens after school pickup: answering endless questions from curious kids who, he proudly notes, aren’t parked in front of screens.
Cannavale also has a grown son, 30-year-old Jake, who stars alongside him in his new series Scarpetta. The Prime Video drama, based on Patricia Cornwell’s bestselling crime novels, stars Nicole Kidman as famed medical examiner Kay Scarpetta and premieres March 11. Jamie Lee Curtis also headlines the star-studded ensemble.
Jake plays a younger version of his father’s character, and watching his son step on set naturally invited reflection. Now age 55, Cannavale says he’s more selective about the roles he takes and more aware of what matters most outside of set.
“I’ve been really fortunate to get to do this job to support myself and make a living. I’m so grateful for that,” Cannavale says, “but what I’m really grateful for is that I have a great relationship with my three sons.”
One lesson Cannavale says he’s trying to pass on to Jake is the importance of knowing what to keep private in an industry (and world) that loves to overshare. He points to his relationship with Byrne, together since 2012, and how intentionally little they reveal about their family life. OK, so there’s one exception: when Byrne casually mentioned their pet bearded dragon at the Golden Globes, a moment he says she instantly regretted as the story took on a life of its own online.
In Yahoo’s new interview series Off the Cuff, Cannavale reflects on the grind that shaped his career, the freedom that comes with age and why, above it all, family comes first.
You play Jamie Lee Curtis’s husband in the series. What was it like building that dynamic with her, especially in the more intimate scenes?
The reason I got involved was that she sent me a text message. I had never met her before. It’s such a Hollywood thing. Chris Rock told me that a long time ago — he was the first famous person to ever text me out of the blue. I was like, “How did you get my number?” And he said, “I’m famous.”
So that happened with Jamie Lee. She texted me, “Would you consider playing my husband?” And I said, “Tell me more.” The more I spoke to her, the more I realized I wanted to be anywhere in her aura because she is a force, man. She is so talented. Her career is exemplary — she’s done it all.
Her energy on set and in the scenes is so affecting. I don’t like to overtalk scenes. I trust that Jamie Lee does her work at home — I know that she does because she’s uber-prepared when she’s on se
