Noel Gugliemi’s Personal Life
Noel Guguliemi did not have a favorable start in life like everybody else. He was born on 15 October 1970 in California, United States. When he was thirteen years old, Noel’s father got an offer from him to travel. Subsequently, his parent left Noel homeless and alone.
In a world where your family abandons you, any chance of belongingness will be a blessing. And Noel related in an interview with ditchthelable, “I gravitated to people who offered a sense of belonging; they were gang members.”
Soon one of Noel’s friends took him to an acting class. And he backed a commercial. And we would surely know Noel was being modest when he said, “In the shortest span of time I went from a normal life to abandonment and homelessness, to a criminal life, and then to an actor’s life.”
The actor has made appearances in several notable TV shows like, ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’, ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’, ‘The Walking Dead’, and ‘Days of Our Lives’. Today the 52-year-old is married and gives motivational speeches in churches besides acting.
