Biography
One of several brothers, Ravanello was raised in the Trout Brook Road area of Mira, Cape Breton, and graduated from Riverview Rural High School in 1986. While a young man, he got introduced to weight training.[1] As an actor he debuted in 1996, appearing in several television series, including Stargate SG-1 (episode "Children of the Gods") and Millennium (episode "Weeds").[2][3] He portrayed a young Marine Guard in the 1998 made-for-television action-drama film Loyal Opposition: Terror in the White House,[4] and was subsequently cast as Private J. Vaughn in the superhero TV film Nick Fury (1998), opposite David Hasselhoff.[5] UPN cast him as Mednaut Thurston—the role which he continued to play throughout 1998 and 1999—in the short-lived science fiction medical drama series Mercy Point.[6] He starred as a tough military man named Thompson in the Richard Pepin-directed action film Y2K (also known as Terminal Countdown).[7][8]
He played a small, supporting role of a handsome welder in the Sally Field–Judy Davis vehicle A Cooler Climate (1999),[9] and was a recurring actor on the Canadian police procedural television series Cold Squad (October 1999). In January 2001, he guest-starred in the science-fiction–action series Seven Days opposite Jonathan LaPaglia, portraying Major Gary Jones.[10] In the 2001 television action drama Semper Fi he portrayed the Sergeant of the United States Marine Corps.[11] Ravanello's acting breakthrough came with 2002's Hart's War. In the movie, set in a World War II prisoner of war camp, he starred opposite Bruce Willis as Major Joe Clary.[12]
In the 1990s Ravanello was also a competitive bodybuilder, with an on-stage weight of approximately 190 pounds (86 kilograms).[13][14][1] He also has a second degree black belt in Taekwondo and trains Muay Thai.
