Ugly Betty (Thursdays, 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET)
MARK INDELICATO
Justin on the ABC Television Network's "Ugly Betty"
With more than a half-dozen impressive acting credits under his belt, 14-year-old Mark Indelicato has already proven himself as a talent to watch. Best known as the fashion-obsessed Justin Suarez on the smash hit ABC show "Ugly Betty," Indelicato is also a gifted singer, songwriter and stage actor who is in the process of crafting his first demo CD.
Like most dedicated actors, Indelicato got his start in live theater, starring in "La Vie En Bleu" and "A Christmas Carol" on the main stage at Philadelphia's historic and respected Walnut Street Theatre. His work in those productions garnered him a role in the Walnut Street Theatre's staged reading of "Fame Forever," which, in turn, went on to enjoy strong success in New York just a few months later.
Indelicato's other credits prove he is a diverse talent who embraces any genre. He appeared in the Academy of Music's rendition of Evita and also has impressed a wide variety of TV audiences through guest roles on "Hack," "The Dave Chappelle Show" and "The Suite Life with Zack and Cody."
Indelicato has also worked commercially, booking national spots for Wendy's and other major brands.
Indelicato recorded a CD for young children entitled "Little Maestros," released in 2006. His live appearances include singing at the NY Knicks halftime show as well as performing in concert with Clay Aiken. Inspired by innovations in electronica and pop, Indelicato is in the process of recording his first collection of original songs. He was trained vocally in LA with Josh Greene and Nick Cooper.
Indelicato, a Pennsylvania native, has trained at the The Actors Center in Philadelphia and takes vocal lessons at Dupree School of Music in Linwood, NJ. In the future, he hopes to work in the action genre, perhaps with his favorite star -- Angelina Jolie.
Off camera, Indelicato enjoys hanging at the mall with friends and playing video games, particularly the addictive Mario Kart on Wii.
