Vince Orlando
- Actor
- Writer
- Producer
After graduating high school, Vince paid his way through Northern
Michigan University where he majored in Finance and minored in
International Business. While tenaciously pursuing his degree he
constantly battled a nagging urge to move to Los Angeles and pursue his
lifelong dream of becoming a professional actor. During his sophomore
year he enrolled in an acting class. That was all he needed. In 1997,
two years shy of graduating N.M.U., he packed his car and headed for
L.A.
Upon arrival, Vince immediately enrolled in the theater arts program at Fullerton College spending the majority of his free time working various jobs, reading industry related books, trade papers and taking professional workshops. Additionally as a way to gain on-set experience and exposure to the real world of production he worked in bit parts on television shows such as Beverly Hills 90210, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 7th Heaven.
Shortly after landing his first featured roll in the independent film The Waterfront starring Corey Feldman and Todd Bridges and after a lull in bookings and struggling to find agent representation, Vince decided to take his newly acquired knowledge of the entertainment business back to Michigan in an effort to regain control of his destiny.
In Michigan Vince teamed up with a group of filmmakers who would play a major role in his next two films. He was hired to play the role of George in the feature film Corrupted Minds in which he also worked as an associate producer. He then wrote, produced, starred in and successfully rose financing for his next film, Life Goes On, which is now in worldwide distribution through New World Distribution.
Vince's latest production outing, Cut/Print, which he also rose financing for, co-wrote, produced and starred in, was released theatrically and distributed worldwide, through New World Distribution in 2014. Most recently he played Apache Commander Burrell in the upcoming tent pole, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and is currently in development on the Crime Drama/Action feature, Somewhere Better Than Here, which he also wrote, will produce and star in. Slated for March 2015 lensing, the year is looking bright for Vince's shingle, Orlando Entertainment.
