Lauria, an Italian-American, was born in Brooklyn, New York. He also, lived in Lindenhurst, NY for a period of time. He is best known for his portrayal of Jack Arnold in the TV series ''The Wonder Years'', that ran from 1988 to 1993. He also played James Webb in the 1998 TV miniseries ''From the Earth to the Moon'' and ''Independence Day'' in 1996. Recently he has appeared in a War Veterans public service announcement and as an FBI agent in ''Big Momma's House 2''. Lauria appeared on stage in New York in the summer of 2006 in an Off-Broadway production of "A Stone Carver" by William Mastrosimone with Jim Iorio and Elizabeth Rossa.
Lauria also had a memorable starring guest role as a deranged, win-at-all-costs high school head coach on Smallville, whose krytonite fueled power is the ability to cause fires by simply thinking it.
A Vietnam War veteran, Lauria was the official chairman one year of the U.S. salute to hospitalized veterans.
