Pierre Rumpf is one of four siblings and was born in Boston, MA. He is of French, Swiss and Irish descent. His Paris-born father immigrated to the United States in 1940 after witnessing the Nazis marching down the streets of Paris during WWII.

A native New Englander, Pierre grew-up in the Norman Rockwellian, Oceanside community of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts. Pierre's first experiences acting included plays in elementary school, and during junior high school, the role of "Winthrop" in the musical, Music Man.

After graduating with a B.S. in Criminal Justice, Pierre served in the U.S. Army National Guard. Pierre worked professionally as an attorney, real estate broker and police officer.

In 2016, Pierre answered a casting call for "real police officers" to be "specialized" extras in the movie, Patriots Day, with Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Bacon. Specialized, because they wanted real police, and because in some scenes, real firearms would be fired. Pierre was hired by Boston Casting and while portraying two different SWAT Operators (FBI & Boston Police), and one ATF Agent on-set, he was "bitten-by-the-bug". Pierre knew after one movie as an extra, that he never wanted to be in the background again, but rather, a principal actor.

Interestingly, Pierre was thereafter invited to perform a monologue for the owner of Boston Casting in December of 2016. He opted to write his own. After performing his monologue (which was well-received), Pierre: Began attending acting classes at Boston Casting, CP Casting, and The Steve Blackwood Sessions; wrote his resume; and, had professional head shots done. Immediately, Pierre started receiving invitations to auditions for films and commercials.

To gain film experience, during 2017, Pierre simultaneously starred in student films produced by BFA Acting undergraduate students at Emerson and Harvard, as well as portraying "Journalist Howard" in a documentary short called, Half the History - Shirley Chisolm: Catalyst for Change, which was produced by the LA-based, Five Sisters Productions.

In 2018, Pierre then landed the lead role of "King Herod" in the Biblical drama/action (short) film, A Blood Throne, produced by the Garcia Brothers and Mount Harvest. After the screenplay finished in the quarter finals of the Bluecat Screenplay Competition (71st out of 762 submissions, globally), A Blood Throne won numerous awards at Christian and secular film festivals, globally, including Best Picture, Best Director, as well as others. Pierre was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading role.

After having wrapped his very dark and evil character, King Herod, Pierre wanted to act on the other end of the spectrum - in a comedy. He then starred as "Captain Oliver Schilling" in Narrow Street Films feature-length, period (1906) comedy production, The Dinner Party, as well as "William" in Mount Harvest's, King Cobras: Men's Group, a TV comedy that won a Telly Award (Gold), beating Geico, which won the Silver Telly Award, and AARP, which won the Bronze Telly Award.

Pierre also starred as the corrupt "Judge Trevis" in Selan Films', Don't Say My Name - an impactful film about child trafficking that has won praise globally.

Pierre's looking forward to what's coming down-the-road . . .
