PHILIP BIONDICH grew up in Montana. "I was just out of high school and working in the oil fields left me empty and compelled me to follow my heart. I hired on with the Guldstrand Corvette Racing Team in 1983. After meeting A.J. Foyte and Roger Penski on the Grand Prix Circuit, my dream of professional driving dissolved. I was lost and very disappointed, when a young lady introduced me to Theater of Arts where I discovered a sense of purpose. She explained how to get into the studios where I began to see how television was made. Acting classes, theater companies, studios, and all the history were everywhere. With a new frontier, I found an adventure once again. My first leading part I was hired for was a Western. So as it turns out, the life I grew up wanting to live, picked me."
