Burt Culver, a seasoned actor based in Los Angeles, has made a name for himself through his diverse range of film and television projects.
Born in Seattle, Washington, and raised between Seattle and Cave Creek, Arizona, Burt's early life laid the foundation for his future endeavors. He later honed his craft at Australia's National Institute of the Dramatic Arts in Sydney, where he developed a palpable presence on screen.
Burt's passion for acting began in elementary school, where he would write and perform skits with his classmates. This early start set the stage for a lifetime of performances. Throughout his life, Burt has brought a unique blend of experiences to his roles, including his time serving in the US Peace Corps, volunteering at a county Emergency Room, interning with the Fish & Wildlife service, living on four continents, writing for Amazon, taking the MCATs, riding a motorcycle, and raising an amazing child. This depth of experience undoubtedly influences his performances.
Burt's first lead role in a feature film was in To Survive (2014),where he prepared for the role by walking solo across Illinois, mirroring his character's journey. While he doesn't always employ method acting, he finds it to be a powerful tool in his toolkit.
"I want my characters to inspire by pushing on regardless of life's cruelties, no matter if the ultimate outcome is good or evil. It's the struggle that inspires hope," Burt stated. He is known for bringing to life complex anti-hero characters who, despite their questionable methods, evoke empathy and sympathy from the audience.
Burt's upcoming lead roles in the feature films Mermaid Down (2019) and The Dinner Guest (2018) are highly anticipated. His past lead roles include To Survive (2014),The Paper Boat (2015),and The Bride (2013),as well as smaller roles in Bastard (2015) and numerous cable and network television episodes.
