Neil Antonio was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY until he was 15-years old. He moved with his older sister, Denise Ortiz, to Kissimmee, FL in 1993 to finish high school. Immediately after graduating from Osceola high in June of 1995, he left the following month to join the Marine Corps, serving an honorable 4-year tour of duty. He attended several Technical Institutes and Colleges, utilizing his military disability benefits to their max potential, but nothing ever stuck out to him. Constantly feeling dissatisfied and discouraged with his career choices, Neil finally decided it was time for him to tackle the possibility of getting into film!
The catalyst for his inner passion to create art began in 2000 upon seeing the film "Gladiator" starring Russell Crowe! The details of the "how" and "why" what happened is better left for him to explain in-person as it is something of a spiritual journey. With having signed and represented, he is fighting hard to reach higher levels that will challenge his every fiber and show the world what he can do as an actor!
Neil's strength comes directly from his spiritual Creator and his inspiration comes in the forms of two beautifully talented souls, his children! And, with his eldest sister being the greatest support system that provides endless compassion, love and reasoning, he knows he is in the perfect stage in his life to turn his dreams into reality.
