It is a pleasure to welcome actor Damian Romeo to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
Born in Toronto, Canada, Damian got into the arts at a young age at his grandmother’s insistence. It started with music lessons, and around nine years old, he began performing in theatre, which solidified his lifelong desire to become an actor. Sporting a fit physique and measuring a staggering 6’4”, a designer’s scout discovered him and asked him to walk in his show. That fashion show led Damian to be named “Canada’s Next Top Male Model” during Vancouver Fashion Week.
Around the same time, Damian Romeo followed in the footsteps of some of his family members. He joined the Canadian Infantry Army and remained a reserve soldier for four years. His heart remained continued to pursue auditions and work in film and television. He booked a small part on Amazon’s The Expanse and shortly after booked the role of ‘Matt Press’ on Netflix’s popular series Ginny & Georgia. On the film front, Damian has the upcoming thriller PINS & NEEDLES starring opposite his fellow Ginny & Georgia co-star Chelsea Clark.
When he is not working, Damian is a horseman and an overall fan of the outdoors. He is an avid rock climber dedicated to a healthy diet and working out. Damian also enjoys giving back in his time and volunteering for SickKids, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting the most significant challenges in child health.
In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Damian Romeo spoke about working in the Canadian Infantry Army and teased Matt Press’ story during the sophomore season of Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia.
