Vincent Di Paolo

Born in Seattle. Lived and studied in Italy for several years. Upon returning to the States he received his High School Diploma from Mercer Island High School in Washington State. Received a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from The School Of Performing Arts, San Diego, California. Has a Masters Degree in History of Italian Literature/Theater and its influence on Shakespeare. Hollywood bound, he set out to be an actor since 1971. But acting jobs were few and far between and never were able to pay the rent. So, Vincent sought other work: as Video Marketing Manager for Barr Films and a assistant producer with Maverick Pictures in Film Distribution. Tired and jaded with Hollywood, he returned to Seattle and opened an Italian restaurant called Verdi's on Roosevelt Way in the University District for several years. But the acting bug, his heart's greatest love and desire, kept tugging...and he returned to Hollywood doing what he loves best.
