© petra plachy
Rudy Ruggiero alias Ruggero Comploj was born in Innsbruck, Austria. He grew up in Germany, Austria and Italy. In 1979 at the young age of 18 he moved to, New York. And although he lived in cities such as Milan, Munich, Paris, New York, Los Angeles and Vienna, HE underlines the matter of fact that he does not stem from wealth nor diplomatic surroundings, but rather, quite the opposite. After acting-school in Germany and New York (HB-Studio & Stella Adler), he worked the Off-Off Broadway scene for a while with occasional appearances on TV and Film. Out of the blue he decided to move to, Tel Aviv, where he lived for six years and Hebrew was added to his English, German, Italian and French. His debut in, Cinema(The Cannon Group) was a small role playing opposite, "Lauren Bacall" in the feature, "Appointment with Death"(1988)''', directed by, "Michael Winner"...After being tossed around and riding out a difficult marriage, which lasted three years and stalled his acting career, he returned to live in NYC and LA where he stayed until the year 2000/01, thus the year of the longest actor/talent strike in Hollywood history - currently he lives and works out of Berlin and Vienna. Over the past two decades Ruggero appeared in numerous international Film/TV productions...
