Born in Seattle, raised in Vancouver, Bruce is a citizen of both the USA and Canada. Best known for his work on Broadway and at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival of Canada, he is equally comfortable onstage (in contemporary drama, the classics, musicals) as he is in front of the camera or the microphone.

Bruce received his classical training at the University of British Columbia where he received both a BFA in Acting and an MFA in Directing, minor Theatre Histiory. He also studied at The Banff Centre School of Fine Arts, and privately with Micheal Shurtliffe, among others.

He lives in New York, Toronto, and Vancouver.
