Ficou mais conhecido pelo papel de Moe Greene em ‘O Poderoso Chefão’ (1972). No filme, Rocco fazia um mafioso judeu que chefiava um cassino de Las Vegas e acabou sendo morto por Michael Corleone, com quem se negou a fazer negócio.

Rocco passou a trabalhar no cinama nos anos 1960 depois de ter aulas de interpretação com Leonard Nimoy. Entre os seus filmes, além dos de máfia, estão comédias como “Herbie Goes Bananas” (1980), “The Wonders – O Sonho Não Acabou” (1996) e “O casamento dos meus sonhos” (2001). Suas aparições mais recentes foram no longa “Sob Suspeita” (2006) e na série “Magic City”, de 2012.

Os trabalhos do ator foram ainda recorrentes na dublagem, tendo emprestado sua voz para o personagem Roger Meyers Jr., de ‘Os Simpsons’ .

Alex Rocco foi casado duas vezes, a primeira com Sandie Elaine Rocco, que morreu de câncer em 2002, e a segunda com a atriz Shannon Wilcox.
