Neal Louie D'Avanzo
- Actor
The sandy beaches and tropical locale of Miami is escape enough for any
visitors to a place that's been called the American Riviera. However,
it was during his college years at the gloriously green University of
Miami that Neal-Louie decided to voyage abroad to places like Prague
and the Amalfi Coast to pursue his dream. That dream was to one day be
a performer, and it was during those defining years that he was able to
excitedly delve into his inner artist. While performing in various
short films, Neal-Louie was also able to attain essential knowledge and
know-how behind the lens. Born in Red Bank, New Jersey, in August of
1986, it wasn't long before Neal-Louie realized his driving ambition
and calling in life. And it was that calling that fueled him to take
his journey into his own hands and explore the city known for helping
masters of all creative arts - from acting to drawing, singing to
designing. Just a short trip away, New York City became something of a
second home to Neal-Louie. During his visits he experienced unique
encounters everywhere from Broadway to Bleecker Street, and he soon
realized how far individualism, assiduousness and hope of grand
expression could take him. With the New York endeavors still fresh in
his mind, Neal-Louie kept with his passion by participating on the
stage and amateur films throughout his middle school and high school
years. And by the time his first day at the University of Miami
arrived, he knew his future would undeniably be one marked by
performing. Whether it was on the football field, where he commanded
the terrain as quarterback of his High School team - a position he says
he obtained due to the gallantry he learned from acting; or in front of
the camera, Neal-Louie has always valued the fact that he's been able
to follow his own path based on the perception he attained from being
an artist. Neal-Louie is contented with his experiences and the lessons
he's learned. However, he considers himself a student above all else,
with space for enrichment. He remains energized to garner more
knowledge regarding his craft and passionate about effectively
utilizing those teachings throughout a successful career. A career
that, according to a fate he's believed since childhood, must be
acting.
