Giuseppe "Joe" Pingue is a Canadian born actor. After completing classical training he was told by certain instructors that he would never work as an actor. Only a few years after Pingue began working in bit parts in films and while on set with screen legend Sigourney Weaver he learnt that her instructors at Yale told her the same thing. They both agreed tenured instruction has its advantages and disadvantages.
