Personal life
Capra attended Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic School. He has upwards of 18 tattoos. He is of Italian and Dominican descent. Frank Capra is not related to him.
His father spent most of his time in jail and was shot to death in 2003. Capra has said of his father, "Unfortunately, I never knew my father and when I did, it was very briefly. He was incarcerated for most of my life and he was killed two years ago; he was shot. I think that even though my father wasn't there, in his death and in his memory, he has been a mentor to me in my manhood because my mom couldn't teach me how to be a man."
Career
Capra began his acting career in 1993 with A Bronx Tale. He played the character of Eli "Weevil" Navarro on the critically acclaimed TV series Veronica Mars and had a small guest role on The O.C. Most recently he was seen on The Closer, Lincoln Heights season 3 premiere, Criminal Minds, Friday Night Lights and on the movie screen in Crank.
