ABOUT KYLE


Kyle is a true native New Yorker–he grew up in Queens, went to High School in The Bronx, lived most of his adult life in Manhattan and worked for many years in Brooklyn. He considers the “Staten Island” box to be checked since he drives through it often (he is lucky enough to have a home in Philadelphia and another in Water Island, New York).

Kyle wanted to be an actor at a young age and enrolled in HB Studios when he was 18 years old, but life has a funny way of derailing youthful dreams. He ended up working in the corporate world after earning an Accounting Degree at NYU. He climbed the corporate ladder like a little monkey and retired at 52. After a year of travel and painting things in his house, he decided to update his dusty-old headshots and, finally, pound the pavement.

Kyle’s first on-camera audition was for an Ancestry.com commercial which he not only booked, but the commercial was so effective it ran over 22,000 times nationally and they brought him back for three more spots. Similarly, the first television show he auditioned for, Pandora’s Box on Investigation Discovery, was also a home-run–he booked the lead. While he realized that this early successful trend couldn’t continue, he knew he was  once again bitten by the acting bug.

Always pushing himself to be better, he understood the need for formal training and enrolled in a 2-year Meisner Program with Studio 4 in New York City. He also studied at Michael Warner Studios in New York, took improv at The Upright Citizens Brigade, workshopped with The Lantern Theater, studied commercial acting at Weist Barron, studied Practical Aesthetics with the Atlantic Theater School and took (and still takes) commercial improv with Stacy Gallo. Currently, Kyle is continuing to study acting with Ronnie Marmo in his popular “Stop F*cking Acting” classes.

Kyle has four feature and over 22 short films under his belt, along with television roles on Showtime, Amazon Prime, The History Channel, A&E, Investigation Discovery, Animal Planet, the Travel Channel and Lifetime. He appeared in numerous television and social media commercials for national brands like Ancestry, FTD, Harvard University, Merck, DeLonghi, Peter Manning NYC, Canon, 1-800-Flowers and Accuweather. He has appeared on stage in the Long Island City Short Play Festival (Finalist), the Samuel French Short Play Festival (Finalist), and the Winterfest Theater Festival where he killed it in the play Cold Porridge, currently in pre-production as a feature film.

He models, both fashion and lifestyle, and has appeared in ads for Peter Manning NYC, Walmart, Narcan, Ancestry and Quest Diagnostics, to name a few.

In his spare time, Kyle has served 28 years as a volunteer firefighter and is currently the First Assistant Chief in the Fire Island Pines Fire Department. He likes to write, travel, cook, eat and sleep. He keeps active in Cross Fit and Solid Core, plays the Ukulele badly and speaks just enough Japanese to get into trouble, but not enough to get out of it.
