About Danilo Di Julio

Born Danilo Alessandro Di Julio to mother Carol Ann Bellmore (maiden name) and father Nevio Di Julio in Rochester, Danilo's family returned to Canada, where his elder siblings had been born. Danilo is the father to a son, Thomas Daniel, and a daughter Sofia Patricia, whom he considers his motivation and the biggest blessings in his life. Danilo is happily married to wife Cori Di Julio.Danny, as he was called in his youth, grew up primarily in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and Lennox Island, Prince Edward Island. As a young boy and teenager Danilo always chose to look at the bright side of life even through some difficult times. When he was in grade 10 his mother came to pick him up after school on the way to a family dinner and when she asked for him his grade 10 gym teacher responded, "You mean effervescent Dan!", due to his never quit attitude in everything he attempted.After high school Danilo enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces and served for three years with the Royal Canadian Dragoons as a tank gunner and patrolling expert. He qualified as a sharpshooter on his personal weapon and was a top shot with his tank always ranking among the top three gunners in regimental competitions. Danilo also served in the Scarlets (the regimental Honor guard) and was a member of the Special Service Forces (SSF) rappel team. Following a three year tour of duty he was given an honorable discharge and began to pursue two fields he had always been interested in, Acting and Football. The first time Danilo put on football pads he was 22 years old but this didn't stop him from walking on at Syracuse University for the Orangemen at 24 years of age in 1995. That was the first year for starter Donovan McNabb who Danilo would later say was "the best quarterback he'd ever been around". He also had the opportunity to practice with and against NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver, Marvin Harrison. Danilo returned to Canada after making the team in an effort to try and mend his ailing relationship with his son's mother. He continued to play Semi-Pro football for nine years during which he was involved in six semifinals and was a member of two undefeated Championship teams.During his athletic pursuits Danilo was also renewing his long lost love of acting. His first play was the Wizard of Oz, when he was 10 years old and he was bitten by the acting bug. He performed in plays in Junior and Senior High School. He actually led the troop sketch comedy routines during his battle school graduation party. However, it would be three years of gunning tanks, patrolling through forests, jumping from helicopters and parading in front of Prince Charles and Princess Diana as well as the Queen of the Netherlands before Danilo would feel that acting bug bite again. After leaving the military he was a ship without a course so he began his pursuit of the only two things to which he felt he could dedicate himself wholeheartedly. The pursuit of his bliss led him from Guelph University's dramatic program where he has fond memories of Professors Bruce Koenig and his favorite Prof Edna Hartmann as well as all the faculty that positively affected him. From there Danilo had another try at reuniting his young fragile family and left behind his acting goals once again but that ended in his final split from his son's mother.In late 1998 Danilo moved to Toronto, Ontario to reignite his professional acting career. In 2000 after a tough two years of struggling to build his resume and gain experience in ...
