Originally from Littleneck, New York, Vincent LoRusso attended Michigan State
University and New York University.
Vincent met actors Carl Tarcangeli and Sergio Cacciotti at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute in 1994. In August 1996, they decided to start their own company and began scouring midtown for a gritty, affordable space to host experimental theater. They eventually invested in the renovation of Triple Treat Theatre/Show World, a former strip club at Eighth Ave. and 42nd St. in New York City. It was here that Vincent and his partners co-founded Pantheon Productions, their fledgling Off-Off-Broadway theater company offering "wild, electric, high-energy theater." Pantheon's first show was Jeffrey Sweet's "Responsible Parties." During the rest of 1998-99 season, the company made its mark with a series of short-run dramas, farces and dark comedies.
LoRusso's theater credits include Dreamtime on Broadway, the lead in Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, the lead in Eat Your Heart Out, and others. He has appeared in the films It Could Happen to You, Brian Daly's The Whitehouse, Steve Feder's The Cotton Wood, as well as several NYU student films, including the lead role in Adam Reese's 1994 short film "Company Policy". On television he was the lead on UNet Cable's "The Show" (A Michigan State University Telecasters production), and appeared on "New York News". Vincent played the lead in Docs and Robbers, which premiered in 2005 at the Dances With Films festival.
Vincent is also a member of the nonprofit organization PROACTIVE (PROfessional ACTors collectIVE).
