Born & raised in California as a second generation American, Ricco studied musical theater at UC Irvine. He then trained in classical acting at Southern Methodist University. After completing his graduate studies, he stayed in Texas & found himself living as well as working regularly in so many different ways. From shooting movies, TV shows, commercials, doing voice work, getting physical w/ motion capture, dance, fights, stunts, traditional theater, hosting live events & teaching the occasional acting workshop-he does it all. A lover of all the creative mediums involving the body & voice (& his cats), he's constantly cultivating himself to be ready for whatever artistic endeavor's coming next.
