Lonnie McDermott

 

Lonnie was born in Montreal , Canada , and raised in the USA . He lived in San Jose , California when he found his first love, ice hockey. At the young age of fifteen, he moved to Minnesota to pursue an ice hockey career. While playing College hockey, Hollywood came to Minnesota and he was chosen to be in the Motion Pictures, Mighty Ducks II and Mighty Ducks III. Upon graduating with a degree in Business Management and Psychology, Lonnie moved to Southern California . Once in Los Angeles , he began playing Professional Roller Hockey. During the off season he studied and trained to be an actor while Bartending at a hot College bar in Westwood, Ca.

Lonnie enjoyed much success in Los Angeles . If you didn't see Lonnie playing hockey or mixing cocktails, you may have seen him in many commercials, such as Bayer Aspirin, Little Caesar's, Fox Sports Interactive, Sony Playstation, Lexus, Mazda, General Electric, Nike, Pepsi, Powerade, or on Television, 10-8 Officers on Duty, Beverly Hills 90210, Clueless, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Malcolm in the Middle and Passions. As for the big screen, Lonnie has been fortunate enough to have been seen in Mighty Ducks II, and III, Scream the Sequel, Overnight Delivery, Baseketball, Jack Frost, and Schteps.

Lonnie then teamed up with his long time friend, Joe Tremba and wrote a screenplay called Brothers, Bruins, and Barstools. The script has been optioned and they are crossing their fingers. Hopefully, one day we will see their story on the Silver screen.

Currently, Lonnie lives in Studio City , Ca with his friend Joe and girlfriend Erin. He has changed careers and now works with a real estate and land development company. Lonnie has been working hard the last 7 months to facilitate the completion of an 18 home project in the Valley which he will be moving into with his girlfriend when complete.

Despite his growing success with his new career, Lonnie continues to enjoy acting and playing ice hockey in his spare time. He is also an avid golfer and enjoys water skiing during the summer.
