Craig Curtis- an American actor/producer/filmmaker.

EARLY LIFE
Craig was first introduced to show business as a 14 year old runaway with the circus. He traveled throughout the country by train as a roustabout with Ringling Brothers, Clyde Beatty and Rudy Brothers circuses. Circus life was rough for roustabouts and laborers, and this helped Craig develop a ‘tough-guy’ attitude that later prepared him for ‘bad-boy’ actor roles. He next traveled the race track circuit and worked with thoroughbred horses. He already had an affinity for horses, having learned to ride bareback growing up in the Adirondack Mountains. Craig then moved to New York City, where he modeled for a major modeling agency, which booked him for commercials and photographic assignments, portraying him as a young all-American teenager.

While in New York City, Craig sold his life story about his circus and race track experiences, to help pay his way through New York acting schools. He studied with Herbert Berghoff, Lee Strasberg [private class], the Neighborhood Playhouse, Mary Welsh, John Stix and Don Richardson. Later, he moved to Hollywood, California, and studied acting with Robert Gist, Charles Conrad, Eric Morris, Nick Colosanto, Alfred Ryder and Stella Adler.

EDUCATION
University of California at Los Angeles [UCLA] – Craig shot his first film as a student at UCLA, a 16mm nostalgic piece using Ford’s Model A’s & Model T’s. He was awarded a producing internship on the Happy Days television show.

University of Southern California [USC] – Craig earned a BA and a MFA [Master of Fine Arts] in Film Production from USC. He was awarded a CBS scholarship. He also worked as a TA for Film Directing and Cinematography at USC, as well as a TA in Film Production at the USC Universal Studios Summer Program. While at USC, Craig attended the Actor’s Studio West’s Writer/Director unit.
