He was featured in National Treasure as the background FBI agent known as Agent Johnson. In 2005, Pellegrino appeared in the Academy Award winning film Capote, playing murderer Dick Hickock.

In March 2009, Pellegrino was cast on the ABC series Lost for an appearance in the final episode of Season 5, to play the role of the mysterious Jacob.

Personal life[]

He is married to Tracy Pellegrino.[4]

He is an adherent of Objectivism, a philosophy created by Russian-American writer Ayn Rand.[citation needed] Though Pellegrino considers libertarianism to be the closest to his political views, he also considers it to be an anarchist political ideology. Thus, he has distanced himself from this ideology and described himself solely as an Objectivist, stating that he sees a place for government in society.[5][6][7][8] He has described his political views, instead, as classical liberalism,[9] and has also described himself as a radical capitalist.[6]

Pellegrino is an atheist.[10]

Pellegrino is a co-founder of The American Capitalist Party.[11]
