Alessandro Juliani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alessandro Juliani is a Canadian actor and singer. He currently stars as Tactical Officer Lieutenant Felix Gaeta on the Sci Fi Channel television program Battlestar Galactica. He is a graduate of McGill University in Montreal, where he earned a Bachelor of Music in Vocal/Opera Performance. He is the son of producer, actor and writer John Juliani. During his time at McGill's Faculty of Music Juliani was known for his pleasant baritone voice, accurate intonation, and strong sight-reading skills, enabling him to find frequent work substituting in professional choirs, noteably at Montreal's Christ Church Cathedral.
He was also the voice of Pit (erroneously called Kid Icarus) in the Captain N: The Game Master cartoon series, and offered his voice in many other cartoons and anime including (but certainly not limited to) Ranma 1/2, X-Men Evolution (as Gambit), the three My Scene films (in the role of River) and two of the Bionicle films (as Toa Vakama). He was also the voice of one of a male leads in Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper, a Barbie movie based on the Mark Twain story "The Prince and the Pauper", in which he also performed his own singing; he also voiced the merman prince Nalu in Barbie: Fairytopia and Barbie: Mermaidia. Another recent role is as Koji in "Ōban Star-Racers" the English version.
In addition to his television and film work, Juliani frequently appears on stage, both in Vancouver (where he has earned multiple nominations for Vancouver theatre's "Jessie" awards) and elsewhere. In Vancouver, he has been in productions staged by Bard on the Beach, Vancouver Playhouse, and the Vancouver Opera. Further afield, he has appeared in the Aldeburgh Festival in England and the Orlando Shakespeare Festival.
