The Bridgeport, CT native famously took the title role in the ABC police drama *Toma* planning to only do one season in the early 70s... producers were surprised, but the show was later revived with Robert Blake as *Baretta*, and a writers strike during its lone season reportedly led to the pilot for *The Rockford Files*... Musante later co-starred on HBO's *Oz*and several shows for Italian TV. In NYC; 77.
