He has appeared in the CBS hit Numb3rs, feature film The Collection, the Batman short film Puppet Master and short film Negotiations; where he was nominated for Best Actor at The Method Film Festival. His role of Dylan Klebold in the off-Broadway production of The Columbine Project led to him winning the Artistic Director's Achievement Award for Best Lead Actor.

Being involved in acting and music from the tender age of 10, Mortelliti developed his talents through the prestigious acting conservatory in the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University and The London Academy of Theater in the UK.
