Episode 15 - Representation Matters with Kelvin Grullon

We chat with Kelvin Grullon, a Dominican American actor from Washington Heights, New York City.   We chat about the importance of seeing ourselves on screen. Kelvin shares how it felt to play Dominican characters. 

Kelvin is a Dominican American actor from Washington Heights, New York City. A graduate from the University of Virginia (2013), he launched his theater career with the one-man play The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, a show in which he plays 10+ characters from Junot Diaz's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. His more recent works include the leading role of ‘Miguel’ in the feature-length film Ivanna en Elias Piña, and his series regular role as ‘Chuchi’ on the YouTube web-series DominicanYork. He is a multi-talented artist with a passion for storytelling, often working as a filmmaker, producer, spoken word performer, and visual artist. He received his actor training at Humanity Studios, where under the guidance of acting coach Shae D'lyn (Dharma & Greg) he developed a strong acuity for playing impassioned leaders and tragic heroes – the confident fools with hearts of gold, that often find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
