Instructor - Actor
Guy Nardulli
American actor Guy Nardulli has had a wonderfully varied career that only saw him take up acting in his thirties. Since then, he has appeared on some of America's biggest television dramas and soap operas as well as in films as diverse as cult conspiracy thriller Under the Silver Lake , an action movie Call Me King, and starring along side Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot in RED NOTICE. An accomplished all-rounder, he also wrote, produced, and starred in the 2016 low-budget indie film Last Goodbye.
Nardulli hails from Norridge, a small village in Illinois. His initial career path led him to American football. After playing college football while studying at Elmhurst College, he moved to Italy and spent a season playing American football for the Bolzano Giants in the Italian Football League. A return to the states saw him play for teams in Ohio and Illinois, his career ending with a the Chicago Thunder. From there, he made the unexpected move into dance and joined legendary male dance troupe The Chippendales. This, in turn, led him into acting, and he made his first on-screen appearance as a thug in three episodes of landmark CBS soap opera The Young & The Restless.
The ensuing years have seen Nardulli build up a seriously impressive CV, appearing in everything from House to Monk to How I Met Your Mother. His first major recurring role was as Jimmy Delvecchio in the somewhat surreal Where the Bears Are, an award-winning sitcom. More recently, he has appeared as Vincent in CBS soap The Bold & The Beautiful and made numerous guest appearances on TMI Hollywood. Most recently can be seen on TULSA KING starring Sylvester Stallone.
Guy brings over 20 years of experience to 1st take acting studios, and is excited to share what he has gained through the years. His approach to scene study is in depth and follows a realistic emotional arch.

Aidan Bristow
Aidan has worked steadily as an actor/producer over the last 15 years. He recently starred in the Netflix mini series "Hollywood" as iconic photographer George Hurrell. He also starred in the Tribeca award winning film "Next Exit" alongside Karen Gillan (Avengers) and produced and starred in the film "The Believer" alongside Billy Zane (Titanic). He was born in England and has been fortunate to study acting in the US and UK.
Aidan knows that there are a plethora of forces in our industry that make it nearly impossible to be a working actor today. He feels the best way to overcome these obstacles is to grow closer as a community of artists and help challenge each other to grow in our artistry. He takes pride in the fact that 1st Take Studios strives to create a community that does just that.
