Anthony Ribustello was an actor and politician. He is perhaps best known for his role as Dante Greco, Tony Soprano's driver on the HBO series, The Sopranos.

In April 2009, Ribustello ran for Bronx Borough President as the Republican candidate in a special election to replace incumbent Democrat Adolfo Carrion, who resigned to take a position in the Obama Administration. Ribustello received about 13 percent of the vote in the overwhelmingly Democratic borough, losing to Democratic Assemblyman Ruben Diaz Jr.

In addition to acting, Ribustello is also employed at the New York City Board of Elections.
