Roman Danylo

Roman Danylo (born Calgary, Alberta) is a Canadian comedian, improviser and actor based out of Vancouver, British Columbia. He currently stars in the CTV television network show "Comedy Inc."

Career

As a teen, Danylo ran a weekly sketch review show as a student at Sir Winston Churchill High School in Calgary. Among the skits he performed was the recurring "Studs are us!" which he created with his friend Peter Oldring.

Roman then went on to study with Keith Johnstone at the Loose Moose Theatre in Calgary (Loose Moose is where Theatresports originated and is often credited as being one of the founding institutions of humorous improvisational theatre). He also worked in several local comedy clubs with friends Oldring, Albert Howell and Graeme Davies and performed with Theatre Calgary. He participated in various CBC Radio dramas as well.

He has performed at the HBO Comedy Festival in Aspen, Colorado and Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival and also starred in the UPN series "Off Limits" with Aisha Tyler. Danylo has been featured on NBC's "Late Friday", "Jeremiah", "The Outer Limits" and "Sliders".

However, Roman is best known in Canada and has appeared in several Canadian series, including CBC's "Comics", "These Arms of Mine", "Made in Canada" with Rick Mercer, the "Just For Laughs Improv Championships", "Slightly Bent" on The Comedy Network and "Corner Gas" on CTV with Brent Butt.

In 2002, Danylo joined fellow comedians Jessica Holmes and Kurt Smeaton as a writer and cast member on "The Holmes Show". Following the show's cancellation, he was offered a starring role in "Comedy Inc." while he was in Los Angeles during pilot season.

"Comedy Inc." recently wrapped production on its fourth season. Some of his recurring characters include "Vlad, the Russian Romantic", "Tantric Sex Master" and "Ken Shawn of WFTO-TV News" (usually paired with Nikki Payne as WFTO's long-suffering weathergirl).

Co-stars on "Comedy Inc." include Aurora Browne, Jen Goodhue, Terry McGurrin, Winston Spear, Jenn Robertson, Gavin Stephens, Ian Sirota and Albert Howell. The series recently won the Gold Medal Award for "Best TV Variety Program" at the New York Festivals for the second year in a row and was picked up by the U.S. cable network Spike TV in April 2005. "Comedy Inc." was also nominated for a 2006 Canadian Comedy Award for best writing in a television series.

For his performance in CBC's "Western Alienation Comedy Hour", Roman won a Leo Award in 2004 for excellence in British Columbia film and television. That same year, he was nominated for a Gemini for his work on "Comedy Inc.".

Danylo also performs with the Canadian improv troupe "Urban Improv" in Vancouver.
