Born in Leicester, England, Dominic Keating's early stage performances
led his instructors to single him out as a "bright, young hope." Nevertheless, his major
studies at the University College in London earned him a B.A. with honors in history, not
theatre arts. But Keating kept the acting flame alive through the academic years,
participating in several University productions and pondering an eventual leap into the
professional theatre.
Keating starred in the feature film "Jungle 2
Jungle" opposite Tim Allen and Martin Short. He also appeared in the
Oscar-nominated feature film "Almost Famous" and starred
with Raquel Welch in "What I Did for Love". In the
soon-to-be-released "The Hollywood Sign", he plays his
first American role opposite Rod Steiger, Burt Reynolds and Tom Berenger.
His television credits include a lead role on "Glory Days", a series regular for five years on Desmond's,
recurring roles in "The Immortals" and "G vs E", plus guest appearances on "Special Unit 2", "Buffy the Vampire
Slayer" and "Poltergeist: The Legacy".
His stage credits include University productions of "Life Class" and "Rosencranz and
Guildenstern are Dead". He won an award for Best Actor on the Fringe for his
role as Cosmo in "The Pitchfork Disney" at the Bush
Theatre in London. He also starred in the one-man play "The
Christian Brothers" in King's Cross and in "The Best
Years of Your Life" at the Man in the Moon Theatre in Chelsea. He was awarded
the Mobile Prize for his performance in "Amongst
Barbarians" at the Royal Exchange in Manchester, which then transferred to the
Hampstead Theatre in London. Other performances include roles in "Screamers" at the Edinburgh Playhouse Festival and in "Alfie" at the Tiffany Theatre in Los Angeles.
Keating currently resides in Los Angeles and enjoys golfing, swimming,
music, boogie boarding, reading and traveling.
