On television, Cannavale is a two-time Primetime Emmy Award winner, first for his recurring guest role as Will Truman's long-term boyfriend Officer Vince D'Angelo on Will & Grace (2005) and later for his critically acclaimed portrayal of the volatile gangster Gyp Rosetti in the third season of the HBO drama Boardwalk Empire (2013). His other notable TV roles include Richie Finestra in Vinyl, Irving in Mr. Robot, and leading parts in series like Homecoming and The Watcher.
