DOMINIC BURGESS

Dominic Burgess was born in 1982, in Stoke-on-Trent, England (just like the Captain of the R.M.S. TITANIC, fact fans). He developed a penchant for performing after playing Biff in a High School production of ‘DEATH OF A SALESMAN’ (thanks Mrs. Godridge). He was awarded a scholarship to the prestigious Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA) in London, where he studied acting for three years. Public productions included ‘TWELFTH NIGHT’ (As Malvolio), ‘THE END OF THE FOOD CHAIN’ (As Robbo) and ‘THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON’T THEY?’ (As Rocky Gravo).

Dominic’s first television role upon graduating was the BBC’s award winning Sci-Fi behemoth, ‘DOCTOR WHO’, where he met a grisly fate at the hand of the Daleks. (Dominic’s Doctor will always be Sylvester McCoy)

Dominic arrived in Los Angeles, just a suitcase and his laptop in hand in November 2007, just in time for the Writer’s Strike… He didn’t know anyone in Los Angeles and subsequently has many stories to tell you about the living situations he found himself in through Craigslist.

Dominic’s notable acting roles include playing Victor Buono in Ryan Murphy’s multi-Emmy nominated series, 'FEUD', for which he received critical acclaim ( “played with uncanny precision by Dominic Burgess – 'THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER' ), Jerry Summers in 'DR DEATH', The Ram-God Ember in SyFy’s 'THE MAGICIANS', accident prone Henry in 'THE GOOD PLACE', Psycho Pete in 'IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA', supervillain Kilg%re on 'THE FLASH', the sinister Mr. Vup in 'STAR TREK: PICARD' and the infamous John Wayne Gacy in 'MONSTER: THE JEFFREY DAHMER STORY'. Other TV credits include, 'AMERICAN HORROR STORY: DELICATE', 'OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH', 'SANTA CLARITA DIET', 'BETTER THINGS' and 'THE LEFTOVERS' among many others.

Dominic can currently be seen as Grayman in Apple TV's 'PALM ROYALE' alongside Kristen Wiig, Allison Janney and Carol Burnett, and he recently completed filming on Amazon's new 'CRIMINAL' graphic novel adaptation which will hit screens in 2025.

An avid lover of nature, Dominic is interested in ways to get involved in wildlife preservation, and as of going to press… he is a proud cat parent to five rescued felines (Frodo, Pippin, Ripley, Blink and Nub-Nub)… but now there could be more…
