As a result of his achievements in the arts, Andrew was nominated for a "Young Australian of the Year" award. A year later, Andrew was accepted into the prestigious Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts(WAAPA). Finishing this three year degree, Andrew went on to do his first film work & subsequently found success at the world's biggest short film festival, "Tropicana" (Tropfest).

Highlights from Andrew's career include working on the internationally award winning Australian TV drama "Satisfaction" for Showtime & performing the lead in the world premiere of the play "The Red and the Black", for which he received critical acclaim: "... a theatrical triumph... Bongiorno surfs on tides of self-deprecation. It's a fabulous performance that ripples with intelligence, sensuality and rakish charm, underscored by a current of social paranoia." - 4.5 Stars, Cameron Woodhead, "The Age".
Having secured a green-card, Andrew moved to Los Angeles to further his international career and refine his acting skills by taking coaching at the Ivanna Chubbuck studio.
