Maurizio Di Meo is an actor who graduated from The Stella Adler Academy of Acting & Theatre in Los Angeles (Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Mark Ruffalo) and The William Esper Studio in New York (John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell). The latter is considered one of the top 25 Drama Schools for Master of Fine Arts in America, under the guidance of its founder William "Bill" Esper, sometimes considered the most prominent of the first-generation professors on the Meisner technique.
While living in New York for several years , he had the opportunity to study with the renowned theatre director Terry Schreiber (Tony Award Broadway Director), founder of the T. Schreiber Studio (Edward Norton), and Milton Justice, Oscar-winning producer for the documentary "Down and Out in America" (1987), as well as an acting teacher and author of the book "I Don't Need an Acting Class", based on the techniques of his legendary teacher Mrs. Stella Adler.
In Italy, before embarking on his journey in the United States, Maurizio was under the guidance of distinguished Argentine actress and theatre director Beatrice Bracco (Paola Cortellesi, Kim Rossi Stuart, Claudia Gerini, Claudia Santamaria). During this time, he had the opportunity to study Voice Over with the remarkable Maestro Mario Maldesi, a highly acclaimed dubbing director (Visconti, Fellini, Kubrick, and Brooks).
”He is that rare kind of man that seems pre-fashioned to consider the other guy with a greater enthusiasm than he consider himself. He is a good man, and a refreshing human being."
Jim Parrack (Fellow Actor)
"Watch Maurizio Di Meo's rising star, he has a talent intensity and mystery that singles him out..."
Joseph D’Agosta (Casting Director)
"I just witnessed a Star being born on stage.”
William Esper (Master)
"Maurizio has everything an actor needs to possess: an undeniable work ethic, unique raw talent and professionalism to the core. But most importantly, he possesses a quality of heart which penetrates the screen and the soul of whom he is acting with. I feel honored to have the opportunity of working with such a wonderful actor and person."
Bonnie McNeil (Director)
"His work in plays such as Midsummer Night's Dream, Welcome to the Moon, and California Suite were great successes, partly due to his great talent and passion for the work. He has left the Stella Adler Studio a better place for his presence and is a young artist of great note and influence."
Timothy McNeil (Teacher & Director)
“I first met Maurizio in a Meisner class with Bill Esper and what immediately struck me about his talent, and which continues to impress me to this day, is his innate ability to connect deeply with his partner and be so emotionally available that he responds impulsively with a deep sense of Truth. He is a true powerhouse of an actor with a beautiful vulnerability, forever dedicated to his craft, career and self development. A true star in the making!”
