Episode 262: Alessandro Juliani

Alessandro Juliani is beloved for many things: for his acting work on stages on both sides of the Atlantic in productions of classical and brand-new work; for his performances as a voice actor in an array of animated projects, including multiple Barbie movies, Dinosaur Train, Super Monsters, and Death Note; for his nuanced on-camera work on iconic genre shows like Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina; for his work as a composer on numerous projects, including Agam Darshi’s brilliant feature film directorial debut, Donkeyhead; and for being a member of a family dedicated to fostering the arts in Vancouver and Canada. In this compelling conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Alessandro talks about his identity as an Italian and Chinese Canadian (and its impact on his career), his adventures in the animation world, where Battlestar Galactica fits into it all, and how he feels about Gaeta’s choices and dramatic end.
