Known for his performances as balanced, quirky, and energetic problem-solvers, William Castrogiovanni is an indispensable geek for cult science fiction and indie comedies. He hacked alien warships as the determined Major Fry in "Independence Day," plotted vicious revenge as a pretentious writer in "Real Nightmares," and achieved perfect continuity as a meek script consultant in "Hollywood Failures." Next, he will appear as a passionate economics professor in the comedy short film "Demand Curve."

William holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in film and television production from New York University, studied acting at UCLA and Playhouse West, and is a graduate of the UCB and Second City LA conservatories.
