Darryl Armbruster hails from the Pacific Northwest where he was cast as the lead in the first play for which he ever auditioned and never looked back. He got his feet wet in community theatre which took him from Tacoma to Seattle in plays and musicals from Carousel and Side by Side by Sondheim to Equus and The Shadow Box. Acceptance to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts brought him to Los Angeles and from there he went on to study with renowned acting teacher Harry Mastrogeorge with whom he studied for another four years. His first role on film was in The Revenge of the Red Baron with a then unknown Tobey Maguire and the legendary Mickey Rooney. He continued with his roots in theatre playing Barnaby Tucker in several productions of Hello, Dolly! as well as establishing himself with the Elephant Theatre Company in Hollywood. His work with the Elephants includes the hit show 7 Redneck Cheerleaders and his LA Weekly and ShowMag nominated turn as Carlton Tanner in Dearboy's War with Chad Allen. Along the way he paid the rent by working as an editor for Drama-Logue which offered him limitless access to the theatre scene in Los Angeles. In 1998 he began a six year run as a backup singer/dancer with the novelty act The Dan Band in which he will still make occasional guest appearances. During his tenure with The Dan Band he appeared in the film Old School, on television in Two Guys and Girl and as a regular on Pajama Party for the Oxygen Network, as well as countless live appearances in front of Hollywood A-listers such as Steven Spielberg. Darryl is also a member of The Theatre District and Scriptwrights as well as all three acting unions.
