About the Book

Champion is a one-act play about Anthony Campione Jr. who was the first-born grandchild on both sides of Italian-American families. Loved and cherished by his entire family, especially his parents Anthony Sr. and Carol, no one ever questioned his darker skin but it was often 'logically' explained away. In his early thirties, after years of personal struggle and living as a "dark-Italian", Anthony unearths the truth about where he comes from and takes a drive to complete his journey of self-discovery. Champion is a compelling true story about courage, the persistence to find truth and unconditional love. Based on the real-life story of David Paladino as heard on NPR's "This American Life" with Ira Glass & Cris Beam.
About the Author: David is an award-winning actor who's becoming known for his depth and ability to play an array of characters across a diverse landscape of ethnicities. David was born in Dekalb, IL and spent the first twelve years of his life living in Chicago before moving to Los Angeles. Secretly, David always wanted to be an actor but found his comfort as a young boy playing and excelling in sports. In high school David was a football star who eventually went on to star at the University of San Diego where he lead the team in tackles his Junior and Senior year. David also coached one season for USD. In college, David's grandmother, to whom he was very close, passed way. This tragedy inspired David to look deeper at what he wanted in his life. He decided to take an acting class at Mesa Junior College in San Diego. At Mesa, David was fortunate enough to hear former alumni Annette Benning speak. Upon graduating with a degree in Business, David moved back to Los Angeles where he started working doing accounting for a commercial lighting firm. Eventually David started taking acting classes in Los Angeles. And shortly thereafter booked his first play at the Stella Adler Theatre in Hollywood. David later went on to study Shakespeare with film and stage star Alfred Molina. While still keeping his 9-to-5 job doing accounting, David then joined the Beverly Hills Playhouse and started studying with Milton Katselas. Eventually he left his 'day job' and tried his hand at acting more seriously. David then made a life-changing discovery that eventually aired nationally on NPR's Award Winning Radio Show, 'This American Life'. This interview led to offers for its film/television rights. David decided to write a one-act play about his story entitled Champion; in which he also stars. Champion, the play, was originally produced by Camelot Artists Productions. David, co-actor Ski Carr and director Tommy Hicks were invited to perform Champion at the Nation Black Theatre Festival in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Champion received rave reviews and became a festival hit. Champion went on to be performed around the country including Miami, Sacramento and most notably a run in New York City. David has won and been nominated for several awards as an actor, playwright and producer. Among some of his achievements is an Ovation Award (Los Angeles' Tony Award) Winner Best Lead Actor for his role in Athol Fugard's 'The Island'. David also received an NAACP Nomination and an LA Weekly Award.
