Today we’d like to introduce you to Andreas Caruso.
Hi Andreas, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
I was born and raised in the suburbs of Catania, Sicily, Italy. Since I was a child, I have been involved in the sports world. In 1992, I was an Italian Greco-Roman Wrestler with the utmost passion for wrestling that earned me many trophies and medals in 1993. In 1995, I won the finals Men’s Greco-Roman Championship in Rome, Italy, and received a gold medal. Afterward, I received an Instructor Certificate from F.I.J.L.K.A.M. After one year, I had an accident during a fight in Rome that took me out of the sport. After a few weeks, I recovered, but my knee ligament tissue got weaker due to all the fights I had during my career, whereby the doctor refused me to stay in the ring. It was quite a setback for me and my family that all of sudden everything changed in his life. After some time, I decided to move on because life does not stop with these such incidents but is full of events and contingency plans. I realized that sooner or later I had to change myself and adapt to my new surroundings. I was physically fit, and my friend referred me to join a gym together. I started working out and, within weeks, got a complete passion for it. My love for sports and health lead him to become a certified personal trainer. I have continued as a professional personal trainer for many years. I opened my own gym and a supplements store. In 2012, during a vacation in Manhattan, NY, I was watching a comedy show at a public theater in Central Park. This awoke an excitement inside of me that I was carrying for long time. That day i realized my lust for acting and this is when I decided to pursue a new career path. When I returned to Italy from my vacation, I sold my gym and the supplements store. I made a plan to go back to New York to work there as personal trainer. I started to get information to become an actor, and it was recommended that I move to Los Angeles. I moved to the center of the nation’s film and television industry, the City of Los Angeles, California, and started to find a suitable acting school to begin my journey. With the same passion and enthusiasm I have exuded my whole life, I worked day and night to make my dream come true. I’m most proud of my growth in acting. The experiences I’ve been given have allowed me to make strong choices with the ability to become more sure of myself in my acting career. I have appeared in feature films, commercials, documentaries, and television series. I am still live in Los Angeles, and I am actively pursuing a career in film as an aspiring actor.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I came to the US in 2012 I came here to pursue a career as an actor. It took me a while to adapt because it’s all different from food and culture; for me, as an immigrant, the biggest obstacle to living in a new country was the new language.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am an actor and producer. I’ve done multiple projects with independent filmmakers in the area of Los Angeles. As an actor, I pretty much do it all: feature films, voiceover, commercials, documentaries, and television series. I am most known for Independents’ Day, You Can Do Better, A Girl Is a Gun, Scream Queens, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Lift, and my own cooking show, Another Day, Another Meal, and it can be found on YouTube.
