Lou D'Amato - Cast

Lou D'Amato is an American Actor born to Frances & Louis D'Amato and has an older sibling Karen. His father is of Italian decent and his mother has Irish/Scottish/French ancestry. His paternal great grandfather came over from Italy and settled in Brooklyn NY, where he opened a bakery shop and raised a family. Although Lou is based in New York he is considered a bi-coastal actor as he also has a place he stays in Studio City, CA when filming in LA. Lou has come full circle after many years of dabbling in local theater, commercials and background work while working full-time. With the full support of his wife Debbie, Lou decided to leave the corporate world of finance to pursue his passion of acting on a full-time basis. His first foray was to focus mainly on developing his "actors" instrument by honing in on fundamental skills. Since then, he has trained in LA at the Aaron Speiser Acting Studio, a studio Lou highly recommends; HB Studios in NYC, where he was fortunate to study under the late Jill Clayburgh at her "Master class for Film/TV"; and then back to LA at The Acting Corps to get a taste of Meisner. He continued to coach with Jill after classes ended at HB until her schedule became too demanding.
