Career
Rovello played Richie Brown, the son of Julianne Moore's character, in the 2002 drama film The Hours.[1][2] Scotland on Sunday noted that he gave a "very striking appearance... as Moore's sensitive son",[2] while The Charleston Gazette called Rovello one of the film's two "talented, young newcomers" alongside Sophie Wyburd.[3] For his work in the film, Rovello was nominated for Best Performance by a Youth in a Leading or Supporting Role – Male at the Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards in 2002, ultimately losing to Nicholas Hoult for the film About a Boy.[4]
In 2005, Rovello co-starred in the Steve Buscemi-directed film Lonesome Jim with Casey Affleck and Liv Tyler.[5] In 2013, Rovello appeared in the short film Socks & Robbers as the character Chester. Its creator Ben Fraternale, a senior at the University of Maryland, had known Rovello "for years and was really excited to highlight him. He was a child actor who had been out of work for quite some time, so featuring him and his talents in Socks & Robbers was great to see."[6] Rovello has also appeared in the American television series Days of Our Lives, Sex And The City, and One Life to Live.[7]
