Guy Nardulli

Guy Nardulli was born on May 31, 1974, in Norridge, Illinois. His early career focused on American football, where he achieved recognition as a three-time All-American while playing college football at Elmhurst College. Following his collegiate career, Nardulli played professionally in the Italian Football League for the Bolzano Giants during the 1996-1997 seasons. He then returned to the United States to play for teams such as the Ohio Cannons and the Quad City Steamwheelers in the Regional Football League in 1998, concluding his football career with the Chicago Thunder Football League. This athletic background laid a foundation for discipline and performance that would later translate into his entertainment career.

After his football career, Nardulli made an unexpected move into dance, joining The Chippendales troupe. This experience served as a gateway into the acting industry, and he began auditioning for television and film roles in his thirties. His initial on-screen appearance was in the CBS soap opera “The Young & The Restless,” where he played a thug in three episodes. Since then, Nardulli has built a significant acting resume, appearing in popular television dramas and soap operas such as “House,” “Monk,” and “How I Met Your Mother.” He took on a major recurring role as Jimmy Delvecchio in the award-winning sitcom “Where the Bears Are.” His career progression includes notable film appearances in projects like the cult conspiracy thriller “Under the Silver Lake,” the action film “Call Me King,” and starring alongside Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot in “Red Notice.”

More recently, Nardulli has gained significant recognition for his recurring role as Johnny the Zip in Sylvester Stallone’s critically acclaimed series “Tulsa King” (2023-2025). He also appeared as Vincent in the CBS soap “The Bold & the Beautiful” and made numerous guest appearances on “TMI Hollywood.” Beyond acting, Nardulli is an accomplished all-rounder, having written, produced, and starred in the 2016 indie film “Last Goodbye.” He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 2013 Utah Film Awards for his role as Antonio Sorrento in “Proper Manors” and also received a nomination as part of the Best Ensemble for the same project. Nardulli continues to be active in the entertainment industry as an actor, writer, and producer, with several upcoming projects including “Dirty Hands” and “The Christmas Spark.”
