Picture
​Christian Cuoco is theatrically trained in France. He was born Christmas Day, 1986. He’s a first generation American. His mom is Ecuadorian and his dad is Italian-American.

When he was four, on a Sunday afternoon while watching a darkly lit 70s movie with his grandma Sylvia, she pointed to the television screen with her plump, wrinkly finger and said in her thick New York accent, “That’s the greatest actor in the whole world”.

From that day on, he wanted to be the type of poetic, powerful storyteller he and his grandma loved.

He's gone through all the levels at the PIT and harnessed his emotional presence with Sundance Grand Jury Nominated Director/teacher, Deborah Kampmeier and Elizabeth Kemp, former Associate Artistic Director of the Actors Studio.

Christian has studied in France with some of the world’s toughest physical theatre teachers at L’Ècole Philippe Gaulier (alumni include Helena Bonham Carter, Sasha Baron Cohen, Emma Thompson). He learned how to express his charm in offbeat performances.

In his down time, he loves to watch Garry Shandling comedy and dance cumbia. He’s also a certified reiki healer, part-time visual artist, skateboarder and painter.
