Raised in North Providence, Cole’s affinity for acting began following the completion of his first production.

His curiosity grew, and he continued to learn under the direction of Jason Robert LeClair at Beacon Charter High School in Woonsocket, RI. While enrolled, he grew familiar with all aspects of the art form (while completing several shows in the process). He graduated in 2022 as the class Valedictorian, proving his dedication to his art and studies.

He recently graduated from URI’s class of 2025 (B.A. Political Science / B.F.A. Theatre), from which he transferred in from CCRI. While enrolled, he earned an Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship nomination for his performance in Ira Levin’s thriller, Deathtrap. In his time at URI, he was involved in department-led as well as student-directed theatre. Perhaps the most unique experience was being cast in Euripides’ Bakkhai. He also had the pleasure of representing URI at the collaborative Boston Playwrights Festival.
