Face to Face: A Conversation with Vittorio Rossi
|
| Abstract |
The Montreal-born playwright and actor Vittorio Rossi (b. 1961) is described by the author as "one of Canada's best-known dramatists of Italian origin." Rossi began his writing career by winning the Best New Play Award at the Quebec Drama Festival twice: for "Little Blood Brother" in 1986 and for "Backstreets" in 1987. His first full-length play, The Chain, broke attendance records at Montreal's Centaur Theatre, English Quebec's main stage. His most acclaimed drama, The Last Adam, won the Canadian Authors Association Literary Award for Drama in 1996. Rossi's career as an actor, in addition to his work in his own plays, has included roles in such films as Snake Eater II: The Drug Buster (1991), Canvas: The Fine Art of Crime (1992), Le Sphinx (1995), Strip Search (1997), Suspicious Minds (1997), and the award-winning Post Mortem (1999); and televison series such as Malarek (1989), Urban Angel (1991), Bonanno: A Godfather's Story (1999) and the number-one-rated television show in Quebec for its three-year run, Omertà (1996, 1997, 1998). Rossi was Writer-in-Residence at Montreal's Concordia University in 1990-91 where he also taught playwriting.
