KENNY D'AQUILA (ACTOR/WRITER/PRODUCER) Originally from Old Saybrook, Connecticut, Kenny D'Aquila made his mark as Grantaire in the critically acclaimed production of Les Miserables directed by Trevor Nunn and John Caird at the Shubert Theatre in Los Angeles. Later, D'Aquila was featured as Grantaire in the International Cast Album of Les Miserables with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. D'Aquila has appeared in over 30 plays both on the New York and Los Angeles stage, including Unorganized Crime, Uptown, Broadway Scandals of 1928, The Fantastiks, Found A Peanut, Mozez, Birdbath, Serjeant Musgrave's Dance and When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder? As a writer, D'Aquila's first play, Uptown, opened to rave reviews at the GNU Theatre under the direction of Jeff Seymour. Uptown won 8 Drama-Logue Awards, including Best New Play. As an actor, D'Aquila also drew raves and won a Drama-Logue Award for Best Actor. D'Aquila's screenplay, Not Before Me (based on his stage play, Uptown) was purchased by Concord/New Horizons with D'Aquila attached to star. Kenny's recent work, Unorganized Crime, caught the eye of Oscar nominee Chazz Palminteri, who went on to perform the play with Kenny and Elizabeth Rodriguez at the World Premiere in Los Angeles. Unorganized Crime won critical acclaim and played to standing room only crowds. Chazz and Kenny went on to create and write Unorganized Crime, a new series for television. The pilot episode of Unorganized Crime recently won BEST SHORT DRAMA in the 2018 Hollywood International Motion Picture Film Festival. They are presently pitching the project.
