STAGE, RIGHT!

Written by: Tony Quattrochi, Faculty Member

Pat Tanzillo, Class of 1981, has made the stage his home.  Although he’s been featured in both television and motion pictures (see link below), nothing, according to Pat, beats the stage. “Every night is different.  Every performance is different.  You learn to listen as an actor because something could change in a second.  Al Pacino calls doing a play ‘Life on the Wire.’” 

After spending two summers during high school studying acting at the Goodman Theatre downtown, Pat moved to Los Angeles to take his chances. “I really learned how show business works. You hear, ‘You’re too tall’ or ‘You’re too short’ and while you don’t get the part more often than you do, I learned early on that studying your craft and being ready is the most important thing.”  After working in small parts on the stage, Pat started his own theatre production company, ROJO, named after his children Rosalie and Joey. “I would read plays all the time, find one I liked, hire a director and work with actors I knew from class or met somewhere.  Los Angeles is now a theatre town and as an actor it’s the best training you can ask for as far as working on your voice, emotions and communication with people.”
