Jerry Penacoli is an American actor and entertainment reporter.
Penacoli was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Marlton, New Jersey. He attended grade school at St.160Joan of Arc grade school in Marlton and high school at Holy Cross High School in Delran, New Jersey. Penacoli resides in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and is an artist in his spare time. On January 12, 2011, Penacoli revealed on Extra that he was diagnosed last fall with stage three melanoma, and he documented the fight for his life with an intimate video diary. A strange mole that went unchecked for some time ended up turning into a lifethreatening skin cancer for Jerry. Two surgeries later I ended up with one nasty infection, stuck in the hospital with a 104degree fever, on intravenous antibiotics, said Penacoli. He announced that he is currently cancerfree.
