Ralph was born in the late-1950s and grew up in New Jersey along with associates Tony, Silvio, and Jackie Aprile Sr. He did not move up in the ranks nearly as fast as his peers; he credits this to not going along with the robbing of Feech La Manna's card game, which led to Tony, Silvio, and Jackie, Sr. getting made and respected.

A famous face from Hollywood is helping people with mental illness.
JOE PANTOLIANO says:” My first primary diagnosis was my eating disorder. I got really fat by the time I was 13 years old. And I wanted girls to like me so I thought if I were thin that would happen. And I starved myself. And that created a feeling of euphoria and I've been chasing that feeling my whole life. It went from that to shopping, to stealing, to masturbation, to sex, to alcohol and actually I stopped drinking alcohol because it started putting weight on me. And then I discovered prescription drugs Vicodin, Oxycontin, Percocet which is all heroin right? ANDREW SPANSWICK says: “They are the royal opiates yeah.” JOE PANTOLIANO says:” I loved it because it curbed my appetite and it made me thin.”
