He was born in July of 1951 and is best known for his work on independent – or indie – films, such as The Driller Killer, Ms. 45, King of New York, Bad Lieutenant, and The Funeral – which were released from the late 70s through the late 90s. Ferrara was born in The Bronx, New York City and is of Italian and Irish descent. Raised in a Catholic family, he relocated when he was 15, moving to Westchester in order to attend SUNY Purchase's film conservatory. It was then that he began directing short films.

Most notably, Christopher Walken, whom has appeared in a number of Ferrara's films.
