Early life

Palance was born in Long Island, New York and started taking acting classes during his years at Massapequa High School, which he graduated from in 1988. He didn’t take an interest in acting until his early teenage years. A friend of the family suggested that he might try doing some modeling and this led the way to a start in acting for Palance.[1] His initial training focused on stage work and he started working professionally during the 1980s in New York Theater and Film.

Career

His limited success with daytime soap operas led him to move to Los Angeles to work in various film projects and complete educational acting programs. Although he was a young teen, he was often called upon to play parts for characters that were several years older than he was. This allowed him to play a wider range of characters than he might have been able to a work on otherwise as a young teenage actor.[1] His acting roles in the film industry eventually got him started in his work as a producer.

His most recent work involved his role as a producer on the television film “Pop Star.” He is CEO of Premiere Event and is currently working on the production of the reality television show “My Hollywood.”
