Born in Seattle, Washington USA; raised in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada; Bruce is truly a North American performer. His parents took him to all forms of theatre (Musicals, Shakespeare, Ballet, Opera, Bunraku, etc.) and at an early age he was hooked. Bruce studied drama in high school, and decided to persue acting as a career by joining the University of British Columbia's BFA in Acting program. While there he studied with some wonderful teachers, each of whom had a unique specialty (Charles Seigel, graduate of the Yale School of Drama; Dr. John Brockington, specialist in British Drama/Comedy and Musical Theatre; Dr. Klaus Strassman, specialist in German Expressionism; and Dr. Erroll Durbach, Ibsen scholar.) With this broad spectrum of training under his belt, Bruce decided never to act again and joined the school's MFA in Directing Program.
Upon graduation with both a BFA in Acting and an MFA in Directing, Bruce auditioned for the Original Canadian Company of LES MISERABLES, for a hoot -- he was cast as a swing -- and the rest is history.
Now in his ninth season with the Stratford Festival of Canada, Bruce has three Broadway credits to his name: JANE EYRE, THE MUSIC MAN and ANYTHING GOES (a benefit for Lincoln Center Theater). He was nominated for a Dora Award in 2004 (Toronto's TONY®) for his performance as Adolpho Pirelli in SWEENEY TODD (CanStage). He has appeared in leading roles across Canada and the U.S.
