Raised in the world of showbiz — his father was an actor and his mother was a dancer — Juliani launched his own entertainment career at an early age, 11 to be exact, with a guest appearance on
MacGyver. During his high-school years, this exotic actor made money voicing TV cartoon characters and earned enough to pay for university. After college, Juliani tackled dramatic and musical stage roles in his native Canada while also racking up credits on a number of small-screen sci-fi series (

Battlestar Galactica.Alessandro Juliani Fast Facts:
