Biography: Julian Bane

Born in Brazil in 1967, Julian Bane arrived in the United States at the age of 11. His love for the arts started at an early age: first with comics and drawing superheroes for his school paper to shooting Star Wars action figures and Styrofoam planets with a Super 8 camera, all the while building miniature sets and props. As a young man, Bane admired, leading characters in shows such as Doctor Who and Star Trek. These characters later influenced Bane to become an actor.

"Their impact on my young mind was strong," says Bane. "The DOCTOR and Captain Kirk were some of the best characters ever created."

After three years in the Air Force ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps) pursuing a career as a jet fighter, Bane came to turning point in his life and decided to return to his original passion: the arts and more specifically, acting.
