With roles in shows like “The Wire,” “Breaking Bad,” and “Suits” under his belt, David Costabile is a familiar face in showbiz. It’s not a widely known fact that his wife is a prominent personality, though, as much of her work exists beyond the mainstream space. Eliza Baldi, who married Costabile in 2012, is known in the niche arthouse theater circuit with credits in “Monkey, Take Off Your Mask!” and “Habit.” Her proficiency in dramatics also landed her among the teaching faculty at Fordham University in New York, where she put her behind-the-camera expertise to use by teaching directing.
Years of being a performer and artist have also imparted a wealth of industry knowledge to Baldi, who often passes it on to her husband. When speaking to The Ringer, Costabile echoed his wife’s sage advice, which she’d taken from a director: “Luck is necessary, but you also have to be ready to walk through that door when luck presents itself.” Choosing the acting life means being in it for the long haul — and Costabile is well aware of it, especially since becoming a family man with two children.
As he told the publication, “Having kids, getting married just kind of pushes you to the high end of the casino — like, I need much bigger chips. But it never feels like it’s a short battle.” Work doesn’t let Costabile miss out on soft acts of love, though — like stopping mid-interview to pick up treats for his wife.
