Antony Alda (December 12, 1956 – July 3, 2009) was an American actor who grew up in a famous acting family. The son of Robert Alda, he was born in France, his early studies were in Rome and he finished at The Juilliard School in New York City. An active actor, he appeared on stage, and in film, and on television, including his role as Johnny Corelli in Days of Our Lives. His career culminated in writing, directing, and performing in The Role of a Lifetime. He died at age 52.
Early life
Alda was born Antonio Joseph D'Abruzzo on Dec. 9, 1956, in St. Julien, France, into what would later be called an acting dynasty. His father was well known in the United States both in film and on Broadway, where he earned a Tony. Alda's mother, Flora Martino, was an Italian actress. His half-brother, Alan Alda, graduated from Fordham University in the year of Alda’s birth. Antony’s sons, Ian and Alexander (Zan), as well as his nieces, Beatrice and Elizabeth, have continued the family tradition.
Alda described growing up within the dynasty, "The theater has always been a comfortable place for me. I spent all my summers on Broadway. Dad would be in one play and Alan would be in another. I used to hang out with the lighting guys." He found that being an Alda had its professional ups and downs. "People figure you know what you're doing because you grew up around acting. Other people think you got the part because of your name."

Into A New Light
Into A New Light
There's nothing wrong with thinking I'm good at this, I'm fucking proud of myself, I've fucking worked so hard.
You fucking doubted me, but I'm determined and I have achieved my goals.
I'll fucking prove you wrong
I've never felt this way before, it's liberating
You will suffocate in your demise
Now I've proved you wrong, come take this fucking noose from around my neck
This is my time, my place, my everything, so who the fuck are you?
who the fuck are you to dictate me?
As I walk into a new light
I've never told you how I feel, I've lived a lie
But now I've proved you're a fucking joke
Now I've proved you wrong, come take this fucking noose from around my neck.
Choke on your own lies. Fucking look me in the eyes
You know you can't win
There's nothing wrong with thinking I'm good at this, I'm fucking proud of myself, I've fucking worked so hard.
You fucking doubted me, but I'm determined and I have achieved my goals.
