Burt Culver is a Los Angeles based actor known for his work in a variety of film and television projects. He was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up between there and Cave Creek, Arizona. He trained at Australia's National Institute of the Dramatic Arts in Sydney and brings a palpable presence to the screen.

Burt began acting in elementary school by writing skits and performing them with classmates. Burt brings to his material a diverse background ranging from serving in the US Peace Corps, volunteering at a county Emergency Room, interning with the Fish & Wildlife service, living on four continents, writing the highly copied password change email logic at Amazon, taking the MCATs, riding a motorcycle, and raising an amazing child. This depth of experience comes through in his roles.

His first lead role in a feature film was in To Survive (2014). In preparation for the role, Burt walked solo across Illinois prior to the beginning of the film as his character did prior to the beginning of the story. He doesn't approach all roles through method acting but it's a powerful tool in his toolbox.

"I want my characters to inspire by pushing on regardless of life's cruelties no matter if the ultimate outcome is good or evil. It's the struggle that inspires hope." Burt brings to life anti-hero characters who the audience can identify with and root for despite the methods used to reach his goals. He often plays roles with a dualistic personality where the outward persona masks a tragic background.

This year will see his lead roles in the feature films Mermaid Down (2019) and The Dinner Guest (2018). His past lead roles in feature films include To Survive (2014), The Paper Boat (2015), and The Bride (2013). He's also known for his smaller roles in Bastard (2015) among others and he can be seen in many cable and network television episodes.
