Cesar Rodriguez

Cesar Rodriguez was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico in 1985. Both his father and mother were doctors, and expected his eldest son to follow their steps. At age 15, Cesar moved with his family to Houston, TX, because his father wanted him to learn English and go to college there. After finishing High School, it was at the University of Houston where Cesar started taking theatre classes without telling his parents. Cesar knew at that moment that he wanted to become an actor. He started performing and became part of the "Unheard Voices" theatre company at the University. He never invited his family to any of his shows out of fear of them realizing he had changed his major. After graduating college, he finally told his parents about his plans of moving to Los Angeles, to continue preparing himself as an actor. That summer, he packed his car and moved to L.A. without a job and $300 dollars in his wallet. He enrolled in the Baron Brown Studio acting program in Santa Monica. Before finishing the program, Academy Award nominated actress, Adriana Barraza, invited Cesar to go to Miami to be part of the Telemundo Acting Studio. Cesar started doing T.V. commercials and small roles in different projects in L.A. while finishing school. He soon realized that he wanted to create his own opportunities and started writing his first script. He met fellow actor Mauricio Argüelles at an audition in West Hollywood and became best friends and business partners. After getting his first script financed ("Una Ultima y nos Vamos), Cesar moved to Mexico City where he started a production company called Epoca Films and has produced, written and starred in several movies since then.
