I recently came across an interesting and versatile actor – Steven Ciceron. I found out that he is a bi-coastal actor with a remarkable resume. From film, stage, and television roles to multiple awards and accolades, Mr. Ciceron has been featured in quite a few acclaimed productions.
I found out that Mr. Ciceron is constantly working and has a wide portfolio of film, stage, and television projects under his belt. He has won three CV Indie Film Awards for Best Actor in an Independent Film and several accolades at International Film Festivals. This includes the Best Actor Venice Film Award, Best Actor Iconic Images Film Festival, Best Actor Halicarnassus Film Festival, and Best Actor MLC Horror Film Awards.
Mr. Ciceron is best known for the cult classic sitcom “Mark’s Place”. Fans are begging Amazon Prime for a second season. Steven Ciceron is part of the main cast and promises more fun, quirky moments if a second season is approved. This is a hilarious show with its off-the-wall plot and bizarre characters. One only needs to see the cliffhanger in the first season to realize why fans are asking for more of “Mark’s Place”.
Steven Ciceron portrays the character of Blake Pennington, and his fans are affectionately known as “Blakies”. The number of supporters is rapidly growing. The storyline follows a Chicago-based Italian hitman who is relocated to Palm Springs with the Witness Protection Program’s assistance to open an Irish Pub.
Mr. Ciceron’s portrayal of Blake Pennington, the Maître d’ hotel in the dive bar, brings comic relief with his efforts to make the low-class tavern look like a high-end French eatery. His character is also a struggling actor down on his luck.
In this sitcom, Mr. Ciceron portrays an eccentric, desperate actor willing to try anything to get a part in a movie. Hilarious scenes follow as Mr. Ciceron acts out this complicated role. Blake is portrayed as a desperate, off-balance actor willing to do anything to have a part in a big-screen production.
Mr. Ciceron’s awards and recognition have earned him a prominent position in the industry. This character actor is a passionate storyteller with a natural sense of timing. He expresses emotion and mood through body language, tone of voice, and vocal inflection. I will be watching Mr. Ciceron to see what he is up to next.
