He made his feature film debut in ''Medusa Challenger'' (1977). He played womanizing dentist Bruce Fleckstein in ''Compromising Positions'' (1985). Other early movies include co-starring roles in ''The Money Pit'' (1986), ''Weeds'' (1987) and ''Suspect'' (1987). He also starred in the critically acclaimed movies ''House of Games'' (1987) and ''Things Change'' (1988), for which he and co-star, Don Ameche, both received the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival. In 1991 he starred in the highly praised police thriller ''Homicide''. A highly versatile actor, Mantegna has played a wide range of roles, from the comic - as a fed up shock jock in ''Airheads'' and the hilariously inept kidnapper from ''Baby's Day Out'' to the dramatic, in roles such as Daysor Joey Zasa, a treacherous mobster in ''The Godfather Part III''.

Mantegna also has a recurring role in the animated series ''[[The Simpsons]]'' as the voice of mob boss Anthony "[[Fat Tony]]" D'Amico. He insists on voicing the character every time he appears, no matter how little dialogue he has.
