Description
Dante Basco just released his first memoir From Rufio to Zuko, on November 4, 2019 (Not A Cult). This memoir follows his upbringing, culture, career, and experiences behind playing a couple of America’s most popular characters. Dante is best known for his iconic role as ‘Rufio’, the leader of the Lost Boys in Steven Spielberg’s “Hook.” He is also known for his voice acting roles in Disney Channel’s “American Dragon: Jake Long” as ‘Jake Long’ and ‘Prince Zuko’ in Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Past acting and voice acting credits include; ‘Dolph’ in “But I’m a Cheerleader,” ‘Ramos’ in “Take The Lead” alongside Antonio Banderas and Jenna Dewan, “The Legend of Korra,” “Star Wars Rebels,” “Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures,” and appearances on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “Moesha,” “CSI: Miami,” “Hawaii Five-0,” and NBC’s “Prime Suspect,” to name a few.
Dante has been a pioneer of Asian American filmmaking since the 90’s and continues to be a major voice in the current Asian Film movement, including starting the Asian Arts collective, #WeOwnThe8th. He is also the founder of “DPL- Da Poetry Lounge,” one of the largest open mics in the country.
About the Book:
From Rufio to Zuko is a memoir detailing the life and work of Dante Basco. Basco takes us behind the scenes of his earliest projects, sharing personal examinations of his life on the set of Hook, through his second rise as a cultural icon as Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Throughout his career as a ‘working class’ actor of Filipino heritage, Basco outlines how his family and culture play a crucial role in the foundation of his work and his focus for the future.
