[edit] Early Life

While living on Long Island Genari attended and graduated from Mineola High School in Garden City Park, NY. In his high school years, Genari's sole interest was acting. At one point his parents were called to the school dean's office because Genari was quoted as saying to all his teachers "that school mattered and was important to those who want to be doctors and lawyers; but actors needed to focus on their craft." Anyone found to criticize actors, Genari would respond that 'An actor will never use Mathematics or Algebra, or Physics; and if I ever play a role that will require such knowledge; I will simply act." This led to the school threatening to pull Genari off all school plays and drama class. Genari later complied and said he would take school serious in order to remain in all high school drama productions. Despite not dedicating himself fully to his academics, Genari easily graduated High School and went on to audition for Film & TV.
