He was perhaps best known for his supporting role in Platoonas Rhah, a raspy-voiced character who takes heroin from dead Vietnamese and tries to help new recruits in their first big battle.

Actor. The son of Anthony Quinn (his mother was Quinn's second wife Jolanda Addolori), he was born within the shadows of the entertainment industry and would follow his famous father's path which led to a career in show business. He marked his professional debut in the TV-mini-series "Quo Vadis?" (1985) and followed this with what perhaps may be his most prominent motion picture role, playing Rhah in the Oliver Stone picture "Platoon" (1986). From that point on, Quinn would alternate between films and television, fairing better with the latter, he found steady work playing Tomas del Cerro in the daytime serial "The Young and the Restless" (2000 to 2001). Among his other TV credits include "24", "CSI: Miami" and "NCIS". He died from an apparent heart attack at age 48. (bio by: C.S.)
