Neil Battinelli

The son of an officer in the Air Force, Neil Battinelli was born in Sacramento, CA and later grew up in upstate New York. It was during his second show, God Spell where a fellow cast member had taught him a number of card tricks, and then for the next 10 years he studied the art of magic which lead him to perform in places like New York City, Tokyo, Japan and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In 2010, Neil left magic and continued to focus study in his first love, the stage. He's amassed success in playing a number of memorable roles such as Harry Roat, Jr in "Wait Until Dark", Danny in "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea", Sam Byck in "Assassin's" and Michal in "The Pillowman", among many others. Neil has a knack for the dark and intense roles and a flair for comedy and heart - which he will continue to grow as he creates each new character. To Neil - it's all about character. Neil resides in New City, NY with his wife and daughter.
