Craig Ameel

Retired high school special ed teacher (Judd Nelson actually visited my classroom and spoke with me before filming TheBreakfast Club), and multi-sport coach, including for years with Special Olympics. Was in Guys and Dolls, West Side Story and Damn Yankees in high school and community college. No major or lead role. Volunteer coach for Special Olympics and at an animal rescue. Willing to join union if necessary.

Craig is a Chicago-based non-union performer with teaching and coaching background, available for background and extra work. Natural fit for everyday-people commercials and education-adjacent content.
