Executive Biography

Armand Assante has distinguished himself as one of the most elusive and yet prolific actors of his generation. He is sought internationally in the film industry as much as he has been the guest of leading industrialists and leaders around the world.

His lead role in “The Wanderers, Quest of the Demon Hunter” added up to get Dragos Buliga’s first movie a “Best Dramatic Feature” at The Philip K. Dick Film Festival New York.

He followed it by joining producer Jules Nasso and TaeKwonDo Legend Master Kim as an homage to the Asian action movie “Darc,” and now joins a documentary in Europe. Led by Jakov Sedlar, this new piece explores global affairs both as Assante and in a dramatic turn as Machiavelli.

When not working, Armand Assante is a landmine removal activist. He is an active member of Landmine Survivors Network, a data-based communications group specializing in the immediate rehabilitation and medical assistance for landmine victims globally. LSN is based in Washington, D.C., and was founded by landmine survivors Jerry White and Ken Rutherford.

Assante contributed personally and raised capital for Doking Engineering, a firm specializing in removing and detonating landmines. He has been on landmine sites in Croatia with Slavko Majetic, the head of Doking Engineering, twice in 2000 and 2001. His contribution created international assistance that addressed the landmine sweep in Croatia dramatically.

His website includes information on how contributions can be made to these two outstanding organizations.

During the production of “Blind Dragon,” a documentary he has written and directed on the global landmine crisis, they were forced to stop filming in the winter of 2003 in Africa.
