0:36Now Playing“Green Book” actor Frank Vallelonga Jr. has been identified as the likely overdose victim whose body was found dumped in the Bronx, police said Thursday.
The 60-year-old actor’s corpse was discovered outside a sheet-metal manufacturing factory in Hunts Point early Monday morning after being tossed out of a vehicle, cops said.
His cause of his death is still being determined but preliminary findings point to an overdose, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The actor is the namesake son of the Copacabana bouncer — known as “Tony Lip” — who was portrayed by Viggo Mortensen in the “Green Book” film, which tells the true story of the elder Vallelonga’s 1962 road trip through the segregated South with black pianist Don Shirley.
