Lou Comici's early life was marked by tragedy when his mother succumbed to breast cancer, prompting his father to relocate their two sons to America. However, due to the laws of that time, the boys were placed in an orphanage as their father worked and the state did not permit them to remain alone at home. This formative experience would later serve as the inspiration for Lou's book, "The Heart Is No Stranger," published by Jove, which explored his time in the orphanage.
As he entered his teenage years, Lou found solace in art, developing a passion for painting while residing in a foster home. His exceptional talent and academic achievements earned him a full scholarship to seven universities, where he excelled in both athletics and the arts. Moreover, Lou pursued his adrenaline-fueled passion for professional motorcycle racing.
In his adult life, Lou's artistic skills have evolved, and he now delights in painting realistic, life-sized vintage motorcycles as a hobby. His artistic prowess has also been applied to the world of screenwriting, as he moved to Hollywood to pursue his dream. Following the success of a short film he created in college, which caught the attention of Edgar J. Scherick, Lou was relocated to New York City. He went on to work on numerous series, films, and sold 12 film scripts to studios.
One of his most notable works, the film script "The Visitor," has become a cult classic, and in 2014, Drafthouse released an interview featuring Lou, showcasing his remarkable story and artistic achievements.
