Darrow began his career as a singer, before transitioning to acting in cult film Street Trash, where he played a mobster. Darrow would begin to realise that he had a talent for playing mobsters.
Darrow would be so successful in Street Trash that he would go on to be contacted by the director Martin Scorcese, who wanted him to audition for a role in Goodfellas. The star would be successful in auditioning and was cast as Sonny, the owner of the Bamboo Lounge. Darrow would go on to be cast in multiple Woody Allen films including Bullets over Broadway, Mighty Aphrodite, Deconstructing Harry, Small Time Crooks and Sweet and Lowdown – even working with huge names such as Robert De Niro, Billy Crystal and Hugh Grant.
