Biography

The multi-talented Dominic Syracuse is an actor, writer, musician, and activist.

Syracuse received his acting training from the Steppenwolf-West Theater Program, The Groundlings Theater Company, and Stella Adler's Art of Acting Studio in Los Angeles.

In 2015 Syracuse began working with the Los Angeles branch of the Stella Adler Outreach Program which taught acting to incarcerated peoples in the Los Angeles prison system.

During his time there, he developed a technique which uses acting and improvisation methods to teach emotional intelligence. This lead to the creation of his business "Cognitive Behavioral Theater" which has since led training for displaced youth, nurses during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the U.S. Military.

In 2020, after being cast in indie and art-house films, Syracuse filmed his first full-length stand-up special, which was released privately through his popular YouTube Channel.

Dominic has toured the nation as a stand up comedian, producing shows and opening for legendary acts including Bob Saget on the final tour before his death.

In 2022, Syracuse wrote, produced, and filmed a 22-part video series called "Know Your Mind: Acting and Improv Techniques for Emotional Intelligence and Effective Communication" which have been used as stress management training videos for first responders, teachers, medical personnel, and art therapists in Ukraine assisting wounded soldiers and their families.

In 2023, Dominic produced and performed in a documentary short with Hollywood Impact Studios, wherein he teaches acting as a means of self-expression to individuals who are incarcerated inside of a maximum security detention center in Los Angeles.

On top of being a trained actor and stand-up comedian, Dominic is also an author, screen-writer, and social media personality.
