Early life

edit

Andrea Logiudice was born in Bassano del Grappa, Vicenza, Veneto, Italy.

He studied in his city of birth at the Scientific High School Liceo G.B. Brocchi and then graduated from the University of Padua with an Academic degree in Communication and Marketing taking the academic title of Doctor.[2]

His father is originally from Reggio Calabria in the Italian region of Calabria and his mother is originally from Rome in the region of Lazio. During the 20th century part of his father's family moved to the United States of America in the State of New York between New York City and Westchester County.

Career

edit

As a young man he was introduced to film acting by Italian director Ermanno Olmi, who at the time had an association, called Ipotesi Cinema, in Andrea's hometown Bassano del Grappa.

While at university in Padua, he began, as an actor, a collaboration with director Mario Brenta, whom he would later also have as a professor of "Theories and Techniques of Cinematic Language" at the same University of Padua.

Film enthusiast tooks his first steps with local productions working as assistant director, producer and assistant cinematographer and then moved to Rome. In 2008 he moved to New York City where he studied acting and began working with small roles in U.S. film productions. Over the years he has lived between Italy and the United States of America taking part in various projects in film, TV series and shows.

In 2009, he was identified by MTV italia as the likely host for the new Italian summer version of Total Request Live, and various conducting tests were carried out in Milan. However, in the end, for external reasons, the planned edition is not realized.

His birth name is Andrea Logiudice, with his father's last name (Logiudice), but sometimes he prefers to be listed in film credits with the name Andrea Logiudice Agnesina to also remember his maternal family (Agnesina). He is also sometimes listed in film credits as Andrea Lo Giudice, with a split surname. It is a common mistake since Logiudice in Italian is a word composed of two words. His surname literally means The Judge.

Friends often call him by the nicknames Loggiu, Log, Judge.

In 2007 at the Cinecittà TIM Festival in Rome he was elected among the five best young promises in Italian cinema, and in the same year appeared as lead in a commercial for Italy's leading telephone provider Telecom Italia.
