Actor Dominic Pace signs on for Danny Trejo Series

It’s been two years since Actor Dominic Pace has appeared on Television. Pace received favorable reviews for his performance as Damian Gries, in Lifetime TV’s Secrets of a Celebrity Nanny in the Fall of 2023.

In the Winter of 2024, Dominic lost his mother to cancer. After battling the illness for over two years, the cancer had spread to his mother’s brain, as well as other areas of the body.

“I really owe a lot to my sister Dina during those years. Living on the West Coast, as well as supporting a family, made it difficult for me to come home frequently. Dina not only took care of our mother with Chemo and Radiation treatment, but also our Grandparents during their later years.”

“My mother was instrumental in starting my career in entertainment. When we lost her, it took the wind out of my sails. Ironically she always wanted me to be on Broadway, and at the time she passed, I booked my first, Broadway Level contract with the Broadway Musical, Jersey Boys.”

After Pace’s roles for Lifetime TV, and Jersey Boys, he took a hiatus from Entertainment in order to focus on his sons, Dante and Benett.

“My salary had been all over the place since I was 18. I was never out of work whether it was entertainment or an odd job, but never knowing where your next paycheck lands can be tiresome after so many years. I was passionate on giving both my sons the education they deserved. I was grateful I had 25 years doing what I loved, and now it was their time to shine.”

Pace returned to Managing an Italian Restaurant in the San Fernando Valley in 2024.
“I started to feel like Tommy Lee Jones in Men In Black 2 when he took a Post Office Job. He forgot who he was, but somehow became comfortably numb and content with life and career.”

“Years ago I would fire back at some Karen or Kevin customer in a heart beat. I found myself simply going with the flow so long as my sons were happy and were provided for. I was pushing many people away in my life. Friends, Family, former Cast Members… I didn’t care about my Social Media, who was following, or how many likes I was receiving. I just wanted my peace and tranquility for a bit.
This past September came, and my Talent Manager and Publicist swung by the restaurant on different days. I received a few auditions and found myself having a little more fire in my auditions than I had in a while.”

Since September, Pace has reunited with Director Dylan Voxx for the Vertical Film Series, Dirty Money.

Along with the Danny Trejo Series, Pace also landed a supporting role for Steven Chen’s Series, Good Luck! Alpha’s Halloween Baby.
