Dominic F. Russo
Actor, Playwright, Good Friend
Praise for SPAM
-"The unsung hero of Spam was The Operator played by the spry and dry Dominic Russo. Knight was the star, but Russo was the superman. Not knowing whether Russo was merely a stagehand forced to appear on stage or an actor driving the production, Russo was incredible." - Theatre in the Now
-"Russo, as the Operator, does wonders...as a low-key and possibly antagonistic foil to Knight."- New York Theatre Review
-"To help him out of that cul-de-sac, Spregelburd uses a stagehand (played with passive-aggressive innocence...with an air of a therapist by Dominic Russo)" - Exeunt Magazine
Praise for Maybe Never Fell
-"The hysterical Dominic Russo, who cleverly provides relevant comic relief, that comforts rather than distracts from the main action...whose performance takes quite the unexpected turn in its own right–simply couldn’t be more delightful" - The Inside Press
Praise for Cannibal Galaxy: A Love Story
-"Dominic F. Russo as the nervous young Chet inhabits his extreme insecurity and confusion with surprising bravery out into the world" - Front Mezz Junkies
-"Dominic F. Russo as Chet is hilarious. His portrayal of social ineptness is sublime. Russo is a delightful tragic clown that breaks our heart as we laugh at his character’s failings."
- Stage Biz
Praise for Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol
-"Dominic Russo as Marley’s Bogle — or helper elf — steals the show by providing most of the laughs. With a light touch and a fey manner, Russo wields sarcasm like a sword, slicing through the darkness of the play with wit and impeccable timing. Imagine, if you can, a Victorian Paul Lynde, wisecracking and wryly commenting on Marley’s travails, often with anachronistic, contemporary jokes that no Victorian would have understood." - njarts.net
