Luciano Giancarlo(1971-2007)
- Actor
Luciano Giancarlo was raised in a large and tightly-knit extended
family in Bologna, Italy where he was an avid soccer and volleyball
player and a huge fan of American television. His love of the
entertainment business ignited in him a strong desire to become an
actor in America. It was a huge dream for a young man living half a
world away from the bright lights of Hollywood and one who spoke only
broken English. But passion is a powerful force and upon graduation
from college and after intense English studies to improve his speaking
skills, Luciano made the move to Los Angeles. With him he also brought
his family's enthusiastic support - and a flawless command of the
English language without a trace of his Italian accent.
He applied that same focus and determination in Los Angeles, supporting himself with a variety of jobs while he studied extensively with various acting coaches and at the renowned Stella Adler Academy of Acting.
His hard work has paid off and Luciano has been able to parlay his lifelong dream into the reality of a successful acting career with numerous television credits including roles on such popular series as "Will & Grace," "Gilmore Girls," "Arrested Development" and "Out of Practice." In addition, he has appeared in many high-profile commercials. For him, perhaps his most gratifying commercial role was for Mulino Bianco. The commercial played extensively in his native Italy, thrilling his family and affirming his local-boy-makes-good, star status.
Luciano is poised for even greater success as an actor. The entertainment industry is not known as a hot-bed of sincerity and integrity, yet both of these are among the virtues that have won Luciano fans with Hollywood's leading producers, directors and casting agents. He is proof that nice guys really can succeed, and he is an inspiration to all who know him.
