Which actor portrays Luca Changretta in Peaky Blinders?

The story behind the answer

Adrien Brody portrays Luca Changretta in Peaky Blinders. Luca is an Italian-American gangster from New York who arrives in Birmingham during series 4 seeking revenge against the Shelby family.

His vendetta begins after members of the Changretta family are killed in the escalating conflict with the Peaky Blinders. Luca arrives with a group of American mafiosi and targets the Shelbys through a campaign of intimidation, assassination and carefully planned attacks.

Luca is one of the show’s major antagonists in its fourth series. His storyline forces Tommy Shelby to seek help from allies outside the family, including Aberama Gold and other criminal networks. The conflict also deepens the show’s themes of revenge, family loyalty and the international reach of organised crime.

Brody is an Oscar-winning actor known for films including The Pianist, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. Luca Changretta is sometimes confused with other major gangsters in the series, such as Tom Hardy’s Alfie Solomons, but those are separate characters with different storylines.
