Andrew Bloch's acting career started
out in regional theaterbut he soon struck gold on Broadway playing Happy Loman alongside Dustin Hoffman as Willy Loman in Arthur Miller's
Death of a Salesman. Following that, he appeared as Binion in Alan Arkin's acclaimed revival of Room Service at the Roundabout Theater. Theater critic John Simon in NewYork Magazine called Bloch's performance"'sheer magnificence."
He found equal success in Hollywood. He guest-starred on countless television series including such classics as Mash, Barney Miller, WKRP in Cincinatti, Taxi, The White Shadow, Remington Steele, Night Court, Murder She Wrote, Matlock, Ally McBeal, Judging Amy, and numerous TV movies and miniseries. Among his many movie roles, he is probably best known as Steven Seagal's nemesis, Captain Hulland, in Hard to Kill.
Bloch's career took a new direction when, after training with the legendary teacher, Roy London, he became a sought-after acting coach and teacher himself. He has taught at USC, The American Academy of Dramatic Art, and at his own studio for many years. He is also the Dialogue Coach for The Drew Carey Show. He continues to teach and coach in Los Angeles, where his clients include beginners, Oscar, Tony, and Emmy winners, but mostly working actors who want to be at their best.
Bloch wrote and directed his first short film, Sunday starring
Linda Purl. It won Best Dramatic Short at the ReelFest in Crested Butte,
Co., and the Heartland Award at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis.
It has also recently been sold to American, European, and Australian television.
