James Carpinello (born August 13, 1975) is an American film, television, and Broadway actor who came to national attention with his appearances in Tori Spelling's VH1 sitcom So NoTORIous. He is also in Rock of Ages. Carpinello first appeared on Broadway in the 1999 musical Saturday Night Fever as Tony Manero. The musical is based on the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever in which the role of Manero was played by John Travolta. He was next cast as Link Larkin in the Broadway musical version of Hairspray, but left the show prior to its first pre-Broadway performances in Seattle in order to shoot the film The Great Raid in 2002. He was replaced by Matthew Morrison. For his third Broadway outing, Carpinello was cast in the Broadway musical Xanadu.
