Movie star Stanley Tucci chooses the tunes that made him in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

Stanley Tucci is an award-winning actor who has appeared in over 70 films, countless TV shows and a dozen plays on and off Broadway.

Best known for starring opposite Meryl Streep in the film β€˜The Devil Wears Prada’ he worked with her again in Nora Ephron's film β€˜Julie and Julia’. He’s also directed five films and appeared in projects as varied as β€˜Captain America: The First Avenger’ and β€˜ER’.

A New Yorker of Italian descent, he’s pursued his passion for food in his own TV series β€˜Searching for Italy’, where he explored the dishes of his family's motherland by touring the country. Cook books have followed, and his latest book, β€˜What I Ate in One Year’, is a record of what he ate over 12 months. From restaurants to film sets, at home and abroad, with friends, with strangers, and by himself.

Also, there's Ten To The Top and the Record and Album Of The Week, and Gary brings back his own archive feature, De Ja Woo!
