He completed his secondary education at Plant High School and went on to attend Hillsborough Community College, later graduating from the State University of New York at Brockport.

Career

Geoffrey Giuliano began his professional acting career at the age of twelve, honing his skills through theater productions with the Tampa Community Theater, where he took on prominent roles in plays like A Streetcar Named Desire and Macbeth.

He earned a Master’s degree in Acting and Directing in 1976, which laid the groundwork for a versatile career in performance and voice work.

In the 1980s, Giuliano appeared in major advertising campaigns for brands such as Burger King and McDonald’s, even portraying Ronald McDonald. However, he later distanced himself from these roles, citing ethical concerns over animal cruelty and advocating for vegetarianism and animal rights.

In addition to acting, Giuliano built a reputation as a prolific author, specializing in biographies of 1960s music icons.

By 1999, he had published over twenty books, including Dark Horse: The Private Life of George Harrison and Blackbird: The Life and Times of Paul McCartney.

His deep exploration of The Beatles’ legacy through works like The Lost Beatles Interviews and Lennon in America positioned him as a notable voice in rock literature.

His journalism has appeared in major outlets such as Rolling Stone, The Daily Mail, and The Sunday People. In 2008, he founded Icon Books and G2 Media Arts to publish and distribute his works, often collaborating with his daughter, Avalon Giuliano.

His acting career also expanded internationally with film roles in Asia, including Mysterious Island, Scorpion King 3, and Vikingdom, many of which were filmed while he resided in Thailand.

Giuliano’s international recognition surged with his performance in the 2020 South Korean film Peninsula, which led to his casting as “VIP #4” in the global Netflix hit Squid Game (2021).

This role revitalized his career and opened doors to further opportunities, including appearances in Netflix films such as Kate and Peninsula.

Despite facing financial hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic, including being stranded in India, Giuliano has experienced a professional resurgence.
