Vince Orlando Profile Page on Nextcat.com

Over the course of the past four years I have produced, written and starred in two full length feature films, in which financing was raised completely in the state of Michigan. The first feature, Life Goes On is currently in Worldwide distribution with Cinamour Entertainment, while the second recently completed, Cut, Print is being sought after by industry heavyweights. Cut, Print was recently submitted to The Torronto Film Festival.

I'm currently for hire as an actor, writer or producer.

BIO

After graduating high school, Vince paid his way through Northern Michigan University where he dreamed of playing college football and graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Finance and International Business. While tenaciously pursuing these goals, however, he constantly battled a nagging urge to move to Los Angeles to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a professional actor. After being successfully recruited onto the university’s football team, but before he could play his first season, Vince’s football playing days were cut short by a career ending back injury suffered in a horrific car accident; looking for something to fill that void, he enrolled in an acting class. That was all he needed. In 1997, two years shy of graduating N.M.U.; he packed his car and headed for L.A. Upon arrival, Vince immediately enrolled in the theater arts program at Fullerton College spending the majority of his free time working various jobs, reading industry related books, trade papers and taking professional workshops. Additionally as a way to gain on-set experience and exposure to the real world of production he worked as an extra on television shows such as Beverly Hills, 90210, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 7^thHeaven. Shortly after landing his first featured roll in the independent film The Waterfront starring Corey Feldman and Todd Bridges and after a lull in bookings and struggling to find agent representation, Vince decided to take his newly acquired knowledge of the entertainment business back to Michigan in an effort to regain control of his destiny. In Michigan Vince teamed up with a group of filmmakers who would play a major role in his next two films. He was hired to play the role of George in the feature film Corrupted Minds on which he also worked as an associate producer. He then wrote, produced and starred in his next film, Life Goes On, which was recently picked up for distribution through Fylmar Productions, LLC in association with Cinamour Entertainment. The film was featured at the 2008 National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE) in Las Vegas, Nevada and will be featured at the Cannes Film Market in 2008.

His newest feature, Cut, Print, also written, produced and starring Vince, was recently completed and is scheduled for release sometime this year. With Life Goes On having been signed to international distribution and Cut, Print being heavily sought after by some of the industries finest, Vince is batting a thousand
