Dennis O'Neill is an American Award-winning actor, producer, director, writer of screenplays and books, and teacher. He also loves to dance and teaches Ballroom dancing. In his Junior year in High school, his assistant principal said, "O'Neill, there are two things I'm going to say. One, you'll never make it to your senior year. Two, you'll never make it in life. Now go back to your class." Dennis worked hard and squeaked through to his senior year to show his assistant principal who was in charge. He then quit school to stick it to the asst. principal even more. Dennis had low-paying, dead-end jobs, going nowhere without hope, vision, or goals. Early in the 1980s, he had an epiphany that turned his life around. Dennis returned to school, earning two degrees. An associate's degree in performing arts from Suffolk County Community College and the University of Texas, Arlington (UTA) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with honors in Theater and Performing Arts.
Dennis now has a multi-award-winning web/TV show called Bail Out, which he wrote, produced, directed, and has the lead role. He has earned 115 awards, including three Telly Awards for Best Actor, Best TV Shows, "Bail Out," and "A Time for Love," and many more in these categories. From rags to riches and self-imposed "victimhood" to victorious manhood is how he sees himself. Dennis lived on the Edge of Night, finally to the Guiding Light. He has produced nineteen web series for Bail Out and a few more for his other TV series, A Time for Love. "All things are possible to them that believe." He loves the quote from Chariots of Fire when Eric Liddle says, "When I run, I feel His pleasure!" In Dennis's own words, he says, "When I act, I feel His pleasure."
