In 1983 he played the cop in charge of some street-gang-members-turned-undercover-agents in the short-lived series The Renegades (1983), which provided a boost for Patrick Swayze, who played one of the gang members. Along with guest spots on numerous TV shows, Luisi also appeared in the soap operas Våra bästa år (1965) and Another World (1964).In the 1990s he returned to acting in and directing stage work in the Los Angeles area.
