Last night I watched The Watcher for the first time. I mean they could have picked two actors a little more “exotic” looking to play his children. Or cast a white guy in his role. Inclusion doesn’t mean people of a race can produce children of a total different race. That is not how it works folks. Sorry
His mother was surely Isabel Salvi who married Salvatore Cannavale in 1968 in Union City, NJ.

“Cannavale’s mother, Isabel, left Cuba in 1960 and moved to Union City, N.J. Her family lived across the street from the Cannavales; she fell in love with Sal, who worked at a chemical plant in Hoboken. “They were married when she was 16; she had me at 18,” Cannavale said. “When I was 5, they got divorced. To this day I can’t see how they ever got together.”
