Vincent Anthony Curatola was born and raised in Englewood, New Jersey, and still calls the Garden State his home. As a young boy, he developed a love of the arts from the actors and entertainers who were his paper route customers. He was educated in Manhattan, first by the Jesuits and then at the New York University Film School. Although he pursued other careers, he always maintained his desire to become an actor.

Vince has been active in raising funds for the families of the victims of the World Trade Center disaster, and is a huge supporter of law enforcement, fire, and rescue workers.
