Soon, he was working on such television hits as The Bernie Mac Show (2001),Still Standing (2002) and a guest appearance on the Showtime hit _Huff_, as a younger version of the lead character. In addition, Vinnie has worked for Disney on their original hit comedy, That's So Raven (2003), and guest starred on the hilarious ABC sitcom Complete Savages (2004).Vinnie says his most memorable acting experience had to be his first 'real' acting job where he was cast as the son of 'Joe Pesci's' character in a SBC commercial. He is quoted as saying, "Working with an Academy Award winning actor for my first job was the most amazing experience; he is a powerhouse." Other commercial work includes principal roles in spots for AT & T, Chevy Tahoe, and Airheads.Besides acting, Vinnie is a gifted drummer, and budding guitarist, recently adding a Fender Stratocaster electric to his collection.
