Mario has been an actor and model for nearly 30 years, appearing in network television shows, films, commercials, print ads and stage productions. He has trained at Penn State University's Professional Actor Training Program, earning his M.F.A., as well as with Allen Barton and Art Cohan at the Beverly Hills Playhouse.
Originally from Minnesota, Mario now calls Los Angeles home along with his lovely wife, Launa, and their rambunctious dog, Skipper. Mario is an avid triathlete, home cook and a passionate lover of wine and travel. When he isn't acting, he is incredibly fortunate to lead adventure tours around North America where he gets to share his love for the outdoors and off-the-beaten path thrills. Because he enjoys being outdoors as much as possible, it gave him the excuse to complete an IRONMAN! Along the way he earned Ironman All World Athlete Bronze Medalist status and raised money for the IRONMAN Foundation along the way.
