Giovanni first got into acting in 1994 by reading lines to actors auditioning for a student production. The director asked him to take a part in the play. With a fear of public speaking and being shy in front of people, he politely declined. Later, after having the lines memorized and one part still open for casting, he took the part. Two performances later, Giovanni fell in love with performing on stage. Years later and after training as an actor, he still continues his need to perform.
Giovanni was born a Navy brat, having moved all over the West coast and finally setting down in San Diego.
Having been forced to take piano lessons as a kid, he had feared recitals, performing in front of people and avoiding anything that required him to speak in front of people.
In 1999, Giovanni took a long break from acting until getting back into it again in 2005 when he was casted for Over The Asian Airwaves, a Playwrights Project Production at the Old Globe Theatre.
Giovanni is currently working on the latest full length film Death Dress by 3041 Productions, due late 2010.
