After stage experience, American actor Richard Foronjy moved on to sporadic film appearances. A distinctly urban type, Foronjy showed up as Corsaro in Serpico (1973), subsequently essaying character parts in Crazy Joe (1974), Fun with Dick and Jane (1977), The Jerk (1978), Rabbit Test (1978), Odd Jobs (1978), The Morning After (1986) and Oscar (1991). Richard Foronjy guested on a piquant installment of the TV sitcom Taxi. He showed up on a Christmas episode as nasty Louie DePalma's (Danny DeVito) even nastier brother.
