Anthony Gilardi was born and raised in the North End of Boston. His best memories were Sunday mornings at his Nana's house learning the correct way to cook meatballs. While making a living as a master carpenter, his outlet became the neighborhood street corners and playgrounds which provided a perfect stage as he entertained, whoever would indulge him, with impressions of his favorite actors and acting out scenes from his favorite movies. Anthony was always quoted explaining how he felt carpentry is an art form not unlike acting. Anthony earned a degree in Construction Engineering from Wentworth Institute of Technology and now holds a Contractor's License in both Massachusetts and California. At the tender age of twenty two, he formed a successful General Contracting Company, Gilardi Enterprises. Following his heart, he moved to Hollywood in 2001 to pursue a career in acting. After a three year run on HGTV, Anthony found his real passion. In 2005 he began directing and teaching acting at the 68 Cent Crew Theatre Company in Hollywood where he was a company member for four years. From 2009 to 2012 he taught acting at The Aaron Speiser Acting Studio. Anthony has personally coached some of Hollywood's best up and coming talent including Prince and Paris Jackson, Jimmy Gomez (Taboo from The Black Eyed Peas), Tiny Lister, Nnamdi Asomugha and many more. His classes range from Basic Technique, Improv, Process and Script Breakdown to Advanced and Master Scene Study. Gilardi Enterprises has evolved into a full entertainment corporation: Gilardi Enterprises Inc. and on February 4th 2013, Anthony opened a new home for actors, the "Anthony Gilardi Acting Studio."
