Alfredo Malabello

Bio;

Alfredo has been acting in many student films over the past few years. He has won two awards for best actor in local film festivals and in January 2008 after being scooped up by Perth based actors agency, Frog Management, won a major role as the loving father Leo Cametti in the TV series 'Carla Cametti PD'.

Alfredo is a determined actor. He throws himself headfirst into whatever role he is given and successfully brings the character to life.

Born 1959 and raised in Adelaide, South Australia, the son of an Italian Father and Mother. As a boy he showed an ability and passion for music. Alfredo got his start in show business in the summer of 1980 by playing piano and singing in a band called The Rhythms. Music ran through his veins and it wasn't long before The Rhythms became well known throughout the Australian Pub Rock scene as a "pumpin band"and performed all over the country and supported many big name bands - INXS, The Cure, UB40, Midnight Oil and many many more. Being on stage in front of very large crowds built up Alfredo's confidence to perform and let go of all his inhibitions.

In 1984, Alfredo left the band and became a piano bar performer. He toured all around Australia and Europe playing in some of the classiest cocktail bars in the world and made his mark as a solid and dynamic crowd pleaser. He followed the yellow brick road all the way to Perth, Western Australia on the eve of the America's Cup Yacht Race in 1987 and showed the Perth glitterati that he was the king of pianobars.

Alfredo's sights were set towards performing in the US and in 1989, he packed his bags and left Perth for the city lights of New York, New York. After three years of performing six nights a week in the center of the universe, he felt homesick for the calm, cruisy Terra Australis and returned home to the land he loved.

From 1993 to 1995, Alfredo lived and performed in Perth but then the call of Manhattan grew louder and louder in his heart. So much so that he packed his bags and returned to the big smoke and once again staked his claim as a strong performer. Whilst in New York, Alfredo started taking spoken voice classes and after a while was able to get work as Voice Over Artist and Jingle Singer. His Australian/British/Ocker/Cockney accents and strong singing voice proved to be quite popular and lucrative.

In 1999, after another bout of homesickness, Alfredo returned to Perth where he continues to live with his two sons.

Follow your dream - make a few bucks - love and live without fear.
