Nelson R. Grande

Nelson was raised in Los Angeles, California. His acting ambition began early in life while performing in the choir at his local elementary school. He stuck it out even after high school, performing in plays such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show. His rock band, Rasputin's Lounge Act, along with the plays kept him busy for the time. In 2001 Nelson decided to take the professional route and got a part as an ape in the Tim Burton remake of Planet of the Apes.
