Edward's Story
I bounced around after high school, working landscaping and fence installing jobs. In 1987 I went to Northeast Broadcasting School, and graduated a year later. I went to work for both WBET and Continental Cablevision in Brockton in 1988. Continental transferred me to Revere, Saugus, Beverly, and then to Dover NH in the course of the next 8 years.
In the Fall of 1996 I moved to Chicago to study and perform improv. I went to the Players Workshop, Second City Conservatory, and Improv Olympic, where I studied with the legendary Del Close.
After performing improv/sketch comedy at numerous theaters in Chicago for 11 years, I decided to take a shot at commercial acting.
I did a commercial with Carson Palmer of the Cincinnati Bengals and have been in numerous commercials for Bright House Networks, which is b...Expand for more
ased in Florida. My character, "Ed Brunson" was the main spokesman for the company. I currently have a commercial for Aldi Supermarkets airing nationally. And I have a spot for Trane Air Conditioning currently being edited. Update: Boost Mobile commercial with Danica Patrick which aired during the Indy 500, and will be one of those annoying commercials a the movies before the new Harry Potter and the Transformers movie.
You can see these commercials if you go to edorourke dot net.
I've also had minor roles in two independent films: "Nightingale in a Musicbox" with Kelley Hazen of "Mercury Rising", and Serious Business, with Rachel Dratch.
I quit my day job in Sept of 08 to concentrate more on school. I'm attending DePaul/CDM with a focus on Interactive Media. I should complete my degree by Nov 09.
