Born and raised in Wisconsin, Rome studied acting at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. He has performed with the Milwaukee Shakespeare Company, was a member of the Combat Theatre Sketch Comedy from 2003-2005, and his portrayal as Louis in the Uncommon Theatre Group's production of Angels in America won him critical acclaim in the Milwaukee theatre scene.
At the age of 20, Rome was a waiter at Milwaukee's dueling piano bar, Lucille's Rockin Pianos, and loved the show so much he began teaching himself piano. He has since performed all over the US and also in Europe playing solo and dueling piano shows. Since moving to LA in June of 2009, Rome has become a regular in Las Vegas, Reno, San Francisco, and the greater Los Angeles area. Be on the lookout for Rome's original work, to be released soon!
