Stephen Silvestrini

Stephen Silvestrini was born in Syracuse, NY. to Jerry & Rose Ann Silvestrini. Both parents working in the sales & marketing fields. Stephen grew up as a sports nut playing every sport and/or physical activity he could sink his teeth into: baseball, softball, football, basketball, tennis, golf, racquetball, swimming, working out at the gym, etc...until, he discovered his passion for acting & flying! In 1987 Stephen entered Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, CA. with a desire to achieve his Aeronautical Science degree and pilots license. Sadly, due to his Father's unexpected death, and high educational costs, Stephen left the school without completing his degree, to return to NY to earn income and help support his Mother. His theater work began in 1996 in NYC at the 13th Street Repertory Company under the direction of Edith O'Hara and later moving forward to some stand-up improv under the direction of Kent Skov. Soon, Stephen found himself working in both film & television on such notable shows as "Goofball", "Godzilla", "Days of Thunder", "Guiding Light", "Sex In The City" and "Saturday Night Live" just to name a few. In 2003, another business opportunity would arise when Stephen was offered a position working with family at the Pentagon, thereby relocating him to Virginia from 2003 to 2010. After working administratively for 7 years, Stephen made the definitive decision to go back to New York and resume his studies and work in the film and television industry, and since that time, Stephen has transitioned from the East coast to the West coast, taking on new representation, diving into LA entertainment training courses and booking a recent guest star appearance as Dr. Ken Dwyer on the show "Betrayed" (Investigation Discovery Network). It is Stephen's desire to enhance his career in the future with directing, producing and writing content. Represented by Valencia Talent Management.
