Where are you from? Is a popular question that Carlo has no rapid answer for. He was born in the U.K and raised in Italy, Hong Kong, the Bahamas and Canada. Add a family history that spans Spain, France, Italy, and time spent in Argentina, India, Morrocco, and you have pan-cultural on a good day, culturally confused on a not-so-good day, and on a middling day Carlo is from Eagle Rock CA! His father, an internationally renowned and itinerant (thus the traveling) chef, instilled in him a passion for fine cuisine. This led to Carlo co-creating, hosting, and directing a popular documentary-style show about food entitled The Great Canadian Food Show. On screen, Carlo plays a lot of very bad men, and plays them very well.
