Today we’d like to introduce you to Bianca Bonciu
Bianca, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My story began in a small town in Romania. Growing up I loved watching movies and the way the made me feel. Some made me laugh, some made me cry, some made me feel invincible. That’s how I got the acting bug, I wanted to affect people in that way. I then moved to Los Angeles to follow my passion and I studied acting with Amy Lyndon and also studied improv at the Second City Hollywood.
After that I started going to auditions and I was lucky to book a national commercial for Big Lots. Doing this commercial allowed me to join the actor’s union, SAG – AFTRA. I kept going to acting classes, workshops and auditions and I met a lot of wonderful people along the way. One thing I love about Los Angeles is that you can meet people from all over the world here, and learn about different cultures, it’s a beautiful thing.
I believe that you can learn something from every person that you meet.
I later worked on many films and tv shows like John from Cincinnati , Don’t look up, Scrubs, House, 24 and Teachers and I learned a lot along the way.
In 2016 I produced, directed and starred in the short film ” The Florist” , and got nominated for best drama short at the Burbank International Film Festival.
I’m currently working on a comedy film that I am very excited about and more coming soon.
My mission with my films is to make people forget about their troubles for a while, and inspire them to let their light shine bright.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Following your dreams is not always easy. But it’s so worth it!
I’ve gone through some really dark times along my journey. I’ve had health challenges, money struggles, heartbreaks. What got me through it all was a strong sense of humor and an incurable optimism. I try to look for the lesson in every setback.
I ask myself : What can I learn from this , so that I can be better prepared for the road ahead.
I believe that there is a lesson to be learned in every setback we go through, and so I am grateful for all the hard times I’ve been through because they made me stronger.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I act. I make movies. I do voice overs.
One of my specialties is doing voice overs in Romanian and I’ve had the pleasure of working on productions like : The Expendables 3,
Captain America Civil War, MacGyver, Whiskey Cavalier, Impulse, Fubar and The Nun 2.
Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
To always try one more time! Learn from your mistakes and do it better. Never ever ever give up!
