Claudio Marangone

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Claudio Marangone started acting at a very young age. He was spotted from his high school running team and was featured as the lead actor/runner in a popular national soda commercial granting him his SAG card at the age of 17. He went on to shoot other commercials before heading to Milan where he modeled for 3 years.

A son of Argentinean parents and Italian grandparents, Claudio picked up Italian easily and is fluent in Spanish as well. His modeling and commercial acting had him working in several European cities where he developed his passion for travel, photography and cooking, but he considers himself a proud Angeleno.

For 9 years Claudio he was the "Young Most Interesting Man in the World" on the original iconic Mexican beer ad campaign where he was trained to do his own stunts like sword fighting, running with the bulls, winning at Jai Alai, stand on a moving horse, do competitive bowling, and feed a bear in a river as well as cooking for eaglets on a mountain top nest... Those skills added to his already abundant bag of tricks, he is a certified Padi diver, an exceptional swimmer (especially when swimming with dolphins), a stupendous volleyball player, can make you sweat in tennis and badminton, can stretch his face in a plethora of shapes including his famous "parrot face", and is a certified jokester.

Fueling his passion for cars, speed and driving, he worked as a precision driver for several car ads. As a model he has been featured in endless magazine ads and catalogues. Claudio also appeared as the love interest in music videos for Tina Turner and Madonna, among many other well-known recording artists. He has been the principal actor in over 35 commercials including for Sprite, Lipton, Guilette, EpiLady, Toyota, Coke, Coors, Dos Equis, and Cialis to name a few, and has also lent his voice for many tv commercials.

He studied in LA with Gary Austin (improv), also with Eric Morris, Brian Reise, Lesly Kahn, Margie Haber, Killian, and Kaz Santana with Linerunner.

In his free time, Claudio is also a really interesting man of the world: he manages the real estate properties he owns, sometimes speeds up a little bit driving his vintage 911, can make a killer shrimp scampi (along with a thousand other dishes he has mastered from his eclectic personal menu from decades of family tradition), enjoys bird-watching, and practices dancing tango with his 84 year-old mom.
