Character actor Antone Pagan landed his first big break under the aegis of Ivan Reitman, as one of the training recruits in the 1981 Bill Murray comedy Stripes. He followed it up with minor roles and bit parts in such features as Dirty Dancing (1987) and Hangin' with the Homeboys (1991), and occasional guest appearances on series such as New York Undercover and Law & Order. In 2007, Pagan signed for one of the lead roles in Mulberry Street -- a natural horror opus about a plague sweeping New York City and turning Manhattanites into carnivorous, rat-like creatures.
