About Me

I was born in Bogota, Colombia and moved to the US when I was four. I studied at NYU and majored in theatre. Later, I decided to get into comedy and cut my teeth in various NY comedy clubs. I've done roles in theatre, television, and the silver screen as well as voice acting (oh, you remember Sid, don't you?)Anyway, I enjoy looking for new and challenging roles and always love entertaining audiences.

My Interests

Acting (both voice and physical), comedy, drinking

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone. I'm pretty freakin' friendly.

Heroes:

Comics are much smarter than actors. Most comedians come from a hard life, and have to struggle a lot. You have to have a lot of skills. When you can hone all of that, and act, you're going to blow the world away.
