Biography

[edit]Early life

Rota was born in London, England of Italian origin, the son of Rina, who worked in the restaurant business, and Dante Rota, a world-renowned chef.^[1] He grew up in Soho with two sisters and one brother. Through his life he has lived in many places of the world, including Hong Kong, the Philippines, Italy and New York City. Rota worked in the culinary industry for many years until he decided to abruptly switch careers to acting. According to his interview in the book Inside Section One: Creating and Producing TV’s La Femme Nikita, he said of this decision:

“

To turn around and tell everyone at the tender age of 30, “Now I’m going to be an actor,” most people just think that you’re going through something.

”

[edit]Career

Almost immediately thereafter, Rota landed roles in the Canadian TV series Street Legal and the critically-acclaimed independent film Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould. Because of his experience prior to acting, he also hosted the Great Canadian Food Show for CBC television in Canada, a series which was nominated for the prestigious James Beard Award for Excellence in Culinary Journalism.

He has appeared in numerous popular TV series including 24, Queer as Folk (US version), La Femme Nikita, Relic Hunter, Adventure Inc, A Nero Wolfe Mystery, The Gospel of John and Traders. Currently, Rota co-stars in the CBC sitcom Little Mosque on the Prairie, playing Lebanese-Canadian construction contractor Yasir Hamoudi. Rota also plays a role in the horror flick, Saw V. In 2009 the Food Network announced that the network would launch a brand new series, tentatively titled “Cooking with Carlo” based on Carlo’s love for exotic and spicy foods. The series is set to debut some time in 2010.

On 24 he plays Morris O’Brian, the arrogant but brilliant computer scientist and husband of Chloe O’Brian. On the TV series La Femme Nikita he had a recurring role as the smarmy greenlisted terrorist informant Mick Schtoppel (later revealed to be Mr. Jones, a high-ranking member of Section), and in the 1999 movie The Boondock Saints, Rota starred as crime boss Giuseppe “Papa Joe” Yakavetta. Rota’s favorite restaurant is Sbarro. During Season 4 of 24 Rota, instead of being paid, demanded to be compensated with Sbarro’s Chicken Parmesan sandwiches.^{[citation needed]}

He lives in Los Angeles, California part time and spends time filming in Saskatchewan. He recently finished filming Shark City in Toronto. He took Marshawn Lynch in the first round of this year’s fantasy football draft, but then asked for a re-do when he found out about the suspension. His friends did not grant him the re-do so he quit the league.

He is to also appear in the upcoming Stargate Universe, playing Carl Strom, head of the International Oversight Advisory, the civilian oversight committee that heads up the Atlantis expedition and its funding.^[2]
