Vince Colosimo bankruptcy proceedings launched by law firm He's one of Australia's most prolific actors, whose recent appearance in The Great Gatsby follows decades of work in popular and acclaimed films such as Lantana and Wog Boy. But now Underbelly star Vince Colosimo is facing bankruptcy proceedings at the hands of a suburban Melbourne law firm. Colosimo has been dragged into the Federal Court over a $36,000 demand from the Oakleigh-based firm of Dandanis & Associates. Facing bankruptcy proceedings: Vince Colosimo. The company describes itself on its website as boutique firm "offering high quality legal advice" in commercial and property law. Fairfax Media has approached Colosimo, 46, who starred as slain Melbourne gangland figure Alphonse Gangitano in the Underbelly series, through his agent RGM Artists. A response has yet to be received. Colosimo has featured in some 30 movies while also working extensively in theatre and television in the past three decades He is currently filming Fat Tony & Co, a spin off from the Underbelly series that focuses on the manhunt for convicted drug boss Tony Mokbel after he fled Melbourne for Greece aboard a $320,000 yacht. Colosimo is also no stranger to offscreen courtroom drama. He battled former partner Jane Hall in the Victorian Supreme Court in 2008 after their 11-year relationship ended, with Colosimo seeking a 90 per cent share of the sale of their $890,000 home in Northcote. The pair's bickering has since mellowed. Hall, a Mix FM radio host, said last year she had briefly moved back into the Northcote home while she was moving houses. Dandanis & Associates issued Colosimo a bankruptcy notice on May 22 this year. A hearing is scheduled for October 1 in the Federal Court. An earlier version of this story stated that Colosimo opened a cafe called Espresso Alley with friend Vince Mazzone in Northcote last year. This was incorrect. Mr Mazzone is the cafe's sole owner.
