TRAILER
CAST
Rocco Passafaro
Julie O'Connor
Rocco Passafaro was born and raised in the Lake Como region of Italy. Having no intention of taking over the family scrap metal business, he moved to Milan to study acting, but his love for American culture inspired him to travel to Los Angeles, where he studied at The Lee Strasberg Institute. With the dream of a film and TV career in Hollywood within reach, Rocco decided to make Los Angeles his home. He has been training extensively and working in film, TV and as a voice over artist, in both Italian and English, since his move in 2004.
Julie O’Connor, a New Hampshire native, began her career as an independent film and theatre actress in Boston. Her youthful voice brought her to Los Angeles where she honed her skills as a voice over artist in animation. Her voice over talents can be heard on Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8. After studying at Stan Kirsch Studios in L.A., Julie began her on-camera work, appearing in commercials in Boston and Los Angeles. Julie’s passion to help others has led her to work with many non-profits and motivates her to bring joy to her work on camera and in the booth.
