I came to the United States from Costa Rica when I was seven. Learning a new language and a new country at the same time turned me into an observer. I watched how people spoke, how they moved, and what they kept to themselves.
That curiosity led to a psychology degree at FIU, and from there to acting, where everything I'd been studying about people finally had somewhere to go. Writing came later, from wanting to tell stories with characters who looked and sounded like the people I grew up with.
Today I work on three tracks: performing in television, film, and games; developing original television; and coaching actors.
Talent gets you noticed. Work gets you hired.

A crime drama with a supernatural engine.
A satire of the Hollywood hustle, from someone who has lived it.
Original series, in development.
A detective story that goes inside the mind.
Most actors don't struggle with talent. They struggle to deliver it under pressure: in a self-tape, in a five-minute audition, in a room where the casting director has already seen forty people.
I help actors make specific choices fast and walk in ready. I'm still auditioning and booking, so what I teach reflects the current market. Coaching at Stan Kirsch Studios since 2018.
Win the big ones, and open the door wider.
Emmys and Oscars, as an actor and a writer, for the next wave of Latino artists.
