Bio

Johnny Cannizzaro is an actor and writer. Born in Bensonhurst Brooklyn and raised about twenty miles outside of New York City, Johnny spent his early years acting in local theater and studying the piano. Definitive of his show business trajectory, he enrolled himself in dance classes and singing lessons with aspirations of working on Broadway.

Realizing odds of making it past an ensemble player were against him, a growing desire to portray complex, character-driven roles eventually steered him toward dramatic acting and film.

After nearly nine years of grinding on the west coast, an opportunity led him to landing an audition and resulting supporting role in a Clint Eastwood directed film followed by several bit parts on television.

Beyond his work in the entertainment industry, Johnny is an advocate for animal rights and often works with rescues to help foster and find homes for wayward dogs.
