Ralph Galino

Ralph Galino played by Domenick Lombardozzi was a character in the HBO series "Oz".

Character Overview

An Italian-American contractor, arrested when one of his buildings collapsed and killed two people. He was unfit for prison, and was manipulated by Nikolai Stanislofsky for a while. Ryan O'Reilly decided to expose Stanislofsky to Galino, and the latter threatened Stanislofsky he will go to the authorities. Stanislofsky, making sure he doesn't do that, has the Bikers murder him.

Galino was brought to Em City at the same time as John Basil (aka Desmond Mobay) and Guillaume Tarrant, and almost immediately announced he was going to appeal for a release as - in his mind, he had done nothing wrong and should not have been blamed for an accidental death (even if it was caused by one of his buildings). Galino's sponsor was Chucky Pancamo who, like him was Italian.

However, there was a difference between the two; Pancamo had mafia connections, whereas Galino did not. In fact, Galino was insulted by the growing stereotype that all Italians were gangsters, and instantly made his opinions known to Pancamo, who naturally wanted nothing more to do with him. Therefore Galino was not officially affiliated with the Italians.

Galino also brought a Cell Phone into Em City, and was seen making a phone call by Russian prisoner Nikolai Stanislofsky, who approached Galino, seemingly as a friend, and informed him that Cell Phones have been banned from prison, as all phone calls are to be made on payphone so they can be monitored. Galino thanked Stanislofsky and allowed him to take his phone to the authorities. However, Stanislofsky had tricked him, as he actually wanted the phone for himself.

Galino was moved out of his original pod and into Tarrant’s after the latter died, Galino was also chosen to paint Shirley Bellinger’s cell as he was apparently the closest to an actual painter, as he used to supervise them. Meanwhile Ryan O'Reilly found out about the cell phone, and when Stanislofsky refused to share it with him, he told Galino that Stanislofsky had lied and kept his phone. Galino approached Stanislofsky and demanded what was rightfully his, Stanislofsky agreed, but later paid The Bikers to kill Galino. They held him down, while Jaz Hoyt injected heroin into Galino's tongue. The death was seen as an overdose. Stanislofsky had no evidence linking him to Galino's death other than a vague conversation with Chucky Pancamo, who gave him permission to involve Galino in an "accident", as he had lost all interested in the "non-connected" Italian.
