Stanley Tucci Identifies with 'Devil Wears Prada' Character Nigel

Stanley Tucci recently revealed that the character he relates to most in his extensive acting career is Nigel from The Devil Wears Prada, stating that Nigel is 'very stylish' and has a 'good heart,' traits he believes he shares. During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Tucci discussed the sardonic nature of his character, which has resonated with audiences since the film's release in 2006. He also reflected on the challenges he faced in the industry post-Diablo Wears Prada, noting that despite its success, he found it difficult to secure roles afterward. Tucci's early career was marked by a series of mafia roles, leading to a decade-long hiatus from such characters after his directorial debut, Big Night, aimed to showcase the Italian immigrant experience without the mafia element. The actor's comments have reignited interest in the potential sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, which is reportedly in development. Tucci's career has spanned various genres, showcasing his versatility as an actor and director.
