Carlo Giuliano(I)

Carlo Giuliano (Naples 1968) studied theater at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. There he focused on Grotowski-inspired techniques at the Experimental Theatre Wing and classical theatre of Tisch's Shakespeare's Studio, going on to become NYU's first triple major by graduating in performing arts, journalism, and political science. He spent two and a half years at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, two years at the Stella Adler Studio, and one year at the William Esper Studio studying the Meisner technique. During this time, he attended numerous workshops in which he studied the Michael Chekhov technique, the Viewpoints and Suzuki techniques, voice, and movement. Giuliano also studied with Sonia Moore (at that time the only surviving teacher in America to have trained with legendary Russian director and Stanislavski student Yevgeny Vakhtangov). Carlo Giuliano later obtained a Master's Degree in Italian literature from Hunter College.

Giuliano has worked extensively in theater and film, both in Europe and the United States, where he starred in the TV show "The Sopranos." Giuliano was both the executive producer and lead actor in a production of Alan Bowne's "Beirut" at the Ville Vesuviane Theater Festival in Herculaneum. He pitched "The Jeweler's Shop," a play written by Pope John Paul II in his youth, to producers in Naples, which resulted in a production of the play in Pompeii for which Giuliano played two leading roles. He starred in a part-theatrical, part-musical hybrid production of "Mozart in viaggio verso Praga," at the Little Court Theatre of the Bourbon Royal Palace in Naples. Giuliano played an atypical and tormented murderer in the Italian police TV series "La Squadra" and a pragmatic aspiring lawyer in the Italian feature film "Non con un bang," which premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
