Louis Vanaria is an American actor. He is of Sicilian descent.

Born in Bronx, New York, Louis has always aspired to be a singer/song-writer. After hearing about an open casting call for the upcoming Robert DeNiro film, A Bronx Tale, Louis worked his way in and attempted to land a singing role, only to land the role of "Crazy Mario." Louis was immediately cast in the CBS movie of the week, Young at Heart, starring Olympia Dukakis and featuring Frank Sinatra.

With his singing career put on hold, he relocated to Los Angeles after landing a series regular role in a WB show, Kirk, in 1995. In 1997, he returned to New York City and took gigs singing in New York City nightclubs, while auditioning and booking guest spots on hit shows like NYPD Blue, Law & Order and Third Watch. He also landed lead roles in the independent films West of Brooklyn starring Joe Mantegna, and Searching for Bobby D.
