Greg Serano Biography
-
Greg Serano was born on August
7, 1974 in Brooklyn, New York.
-
This good-looking kid had a
"normal" life growing up in Brooklyn. He went to school, played
sports and hung out with his friends [TBF]. However, he always had
an interest in acting. After High School, he worked at a Kosher
Deli-Restaurant (named Adelmans) and managed a bagel store.
-
In 1995, at about
the age of 21, he decided to pursue an acting career. He
moved out to L.A. and was quickly cast in the TV series
entitled Dangerous Minds, playing the tough High
School kid named Gusmaro Lopez. The show was based on
the movie of the same name. Unfortunately, the show
only lasted one season. However, it was not due to
Greg, who was recognized by receiving a 1996 NCLR Bravo
Award nomination and a 1998 ALMA Award nomination for
Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series.
-
However, he
bounced around the industry over the next few years,
appearing in various television episodes such as
Diagnosis Murder in 1997, E.R. and Touched
by an Angel in 1998, and The Pretender in
1999. He also appeared in several films over this time
period, such as his debut in The Rich Man's Wife
(1996), The Journey: Absolution (1997), The
Postman (1997), Road Dogz (2000), The
Cross (2001), Semper Fi (2001) and Frailty
(2001).
-
Although many of
the roles were small and did not provide him with much
attention, he learned from each role and his co-actors
with each filming. In 2001, he appeared as the good
looking hunk in Legally Blonde, and this was followed up
in 2002, he received his first starring role, in the
made for TV movie, Clive Barker's Saint Sinner.
The movie was mildly successful, but was able to provide
Greg with a little bit of the spotlight - especially
amongst Sci-Fi enthusiasts.

His Sci-Fi
notoriety was able to get him roles on episodes of
The Twilight Zone in 2002 and The Dead Zone
in 2003. He also appeared on episodes of CSI in
2002 and North Shore in 2004. After a small role
in National Security in 2003, he had a
substantial role in the TV series Kingpin, also
in 2003.
