Getting Started

I was born in Orange County, and we moved to Arizona when I was two. I started coming out to California for acting at age 10 and then moved here when I was about 13 when I landed my first series. I started acting in my own family room. Growing up in such a large, LOUD Italian family it was easy to get overlooked. So I made sure I kept everyone entertained for as long as possible. My best friends were all my cousins, and I am talking A LOT of cousins, and aunts and uncles. Every Sunday we would go to Nonna's house for pasta and my Nonna made the BEST!! Holiday times are great. We have a huge feast. I really appreciate my family's support and belief in me; without them, I wouldn't be who I am today. I owe my parents one-hundred percent of my success, for without their support and willingness to make their son's dreams come true I never would have come to California. They sacrificed a lot more then anyone will ever know for me. I also owe a lot to my brother Lorenzo.
