Chuck DiMaria started his career the old-fashioned way: Playing the bars in Buffalo, NY.
But it wasn’t too long before his hometown just wasn’t big enough anymore and Chuck headed out on the road after being cast as Judas in the national tour of Jesus Christ Superstar opposite stage legend Ted Neeley.
(Chuck would again work the Superstar magic with Ted Neeley, Ben Vereen and Jack Black in the 2006 Hollywood Benefit Concert of Jesus Christ Superstar, but I digress.)
On stage, Chuck DiMaria has not only played the role of Judas Iscariot in Superstar, but also that of Hedwig in Hedwig & The Angry Inch
Chuck also originated the role of Evel Knievel in Evel Knievel, The Rock Opera, for its world premiere in Los Angeles during 2007.
Staying close to his rock roots, Chuck has fronted Under Pressure, a tribute to Queen, and Ziggy Barlust, a tribute to Ziggy Stardust, both favorites on the national tribute band circuit.
Most recently, Chuck spent three months in the jungles of Thailand starring opposite Jean-Claude Van Damme in the motion picture The Eagle Path, slated for an October 2009 release, debuting at the Toronto Film Festival.
Chuck DiMaria is looking to front a take-no-prisoners rock band. Sporting a voice with a cruising altitude of high G, a background in the martial arts and miles of roadwork under his belt, his time is now.
Chuck also spends his time rolling at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in Hollywood, CA, under the tutelage of Eddie Bravo. (With mad props going out to Scott "Einstein" Epstein.)
NEWSFLASH!!

Who I'd like to meet: In 1982, I saw this video. After it was finished, I stood up and said, "That's what I want to do."
...and that's how it all started.
Now, as for people I'd like to meet? That depends. Are we talking spiritually, financially, romantically, or any other "ly" you wanna tack on there?
Suffice it to say I like to be mentally challenged by the people in my life, as long as it's done respectfully. If you can't do it respectfully, would you at least make it interesting and entertaining? ;)
The rest I kinda make up as I go!
As far as "romantically" is concerned, I just hope she has pretty feet and a nice bottom.
Now, as for who I'd like to meet, perhaps a "photo essay" would be effective. So why don't we just start with Giada?
And these ladies seem sweet. (Malibu Strings: My new favorite bikini!)
But the classics never go out of style. Ever.
So let's put 'em all together and see what we get, shall we?
Thus endeth the photo essay. Thank you, Buffalo! Goodnight!!
Its been too long, I'm sorry life took me away. I'm so happy for the latest award. Its Spring and so now duty is to be tended and new beginnings are every where. Never doubt that I love you. Always have, always will.
Chuckie! Long time no talk to! I just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday, a Happy Easter, and a wonderful weekend! Hope you are well, take care. :)
