Bruno Francesco Verdoni was born in an ITALIAN neighborhood in Montreal, Canada. Although TV shows and movies, especially Westerns, showed their early influence through the arrangement of his toy cowboy/war buddies underneath the kitchen table; it was music that grabbed his passion first. After sadly realizing he didn't have what it took to be an NHL hockey player nor a veterinarian, he took up the trumpet and studied Mozart, Beethoven, Al Hirt, and Maynard Ferguson among others. After High school the bass guitar had him playing, writing, rehearsing and touring with a prog rock band for 4 years. In college, while studying psychology, he became more interested in his film classes studying masters such as Di Palma, Scorcese, Trumbo, Fellini, Pasolini, Truffault, Joseph Losey, Orson Welles and consequently began acting in short films and doing improv. He received a BA in Arts/music composition and started touring as a musical performer, recording jingles and appearing on local TV talk shows. He continued with his love of acting by taking classes and performing in short films and commercials. Eventually he moved to Toronto to pursue a fully committed acting career, then relocating to Vancouver and finally to Los Angeles. Since, he has been seen acting in projects starring John Malkovitch, Evangeline Lily, Peter Krause, Barbara Hershey, James Denton, Casper Van Dien, Eric McCormack, Jennifer Beals, Lawrence Fishburne, Paget Brewster, Billy Zane, James Cromwell, Andre Braugher, Viola Davis, Tom Welling to name a few. His absolute love for the art of acting and filmmaking makes him a permanent student of life - especially with the help of his 8 year-old daughter Francesca. Other important interests include Filmmaking, Fitness, Soundtrack Production, Meditation, Horses, Film Music. He lives in LA working in the US and Canada. He is the proud holder of US, Canadian and Euro passports.
