Biography

Alfred III was born on December 16, 1961, in Brooklyn to Alfred C. Cerullo Jr. and the former Elizabeth Russo. He was raised in the Great Kills neighborhood of Staten Island in New York City, and is the nephew of Oscar-nominated actress Patty McCormack.[10][11][12]

He received a Bachelor's Degree in English and American Studies from St. John's University and his law degree from St. John's University School of Law.[13][14] In 1990 he was elected to the New York City Council as the only seated Republican, which made him the minority leader. He left that position to become Commissioner of the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs in 1994, and in 1995 was appointed Commissioner of the New York City Department of Finance.[11] He left office in 1999.[15] He has been president of the Grand Central Partnership since 1999, and for many years has acted in theater and television.[10]
