Dustin Varpness

With classic, square-jawed good looks, Renaissance man Dustin Varpness brings to mind the leading men of Hollywood's Golden Age; however, the actor is a thoroughly modern one. Varpness, born in Olympia, Washington, moved to LA to pursue his passion for the arts. Shortly after arriving, Varpness was given his first taste of the festival circuit as Deric in the critically acclaimed short film 'Dirty Love' (dir: Michael Tringe). He then found himself studying with the venerable Michael Woolson, who he would like to thank for his life changing mentorship. Under his tutelage he worked on films such as 'John Lee' [dir: Marie Lee], 'Connected' [dir: Nathan Brunskill], and 'Positive' [dir: Ethan Lader]. After appearances on the Discovery Channel, the Disney Channel and ABC Family ['The Secret Life of the American Teenager'] he now looks towards the stage with much anticipation and excitement. Varpness, a local resident of North Hollywood, enjoys spending his free time rock climbing in the Santa Monica Mountains, crushing the pavement on his 650 and creating mind opening abstract paintings.
