Early Argo movie credits include 1972's Boxcar_Bertha and the 1975 Martin_Scorsese production Mean_Streets. In the late 1980s, Argo enjoyed a burst of movie activity, though thanks to location shooting he didn't have to leave Manhattan too often. The actor was seen as Roy Bishop in King of New York (1987), Avram in Her_Alibi (1989), a cop in New_York_Stories (1989). Woody_Allen utilized Argo in two films, Crimes and Misdemeanors (1988) (as a detective) and Shadows and Fog (1990). Rare non-New York film productions featuring Victor Argo have included McBain (1988), in which he played "El Presidente," and the controversial Last Temptation of Christ (1988) in which Argo portrayed Peter Apostle. And in early 1989, Victor Argo had weekly work as Anthony Coltrera on the New Jersey-based TV series Dream_Street. His 1990s film credits included a major role in Smoke (1995) and its sequel Blue in the Face (1996) and Next_Stop_Wonderland (1998). Hal Erickson, Rovi
