J. Omar Castro
- Actor
J. Omar Castro is the youngest of three brothers born of
Honduran immigrant parents in a suburb of New Orleans, LA. At present pursuing a doctorate from the University of Southern California, he holds a
Bachelor of Arts, MBA, and Master of Global Management from Tulane
University and is a proud military veteran having served 7 years in the
U. S. Air Force. Although he performed in a number of plays at the
grade school age, on a whim he enrolled in an acting class his Junior
year at Tulane. As a result, he refueled an underlying passion and it
was at that time that he began to develop a sustainable plan to always fuel his work as an Actor. Upon completion of his undergraduate studies
and military service, J. Omar moved to Austin, Texas to further develop
his craft in a Master in Fine Arts Program at the University of Texas.
He booked his first television role in a Navy Seals Mini Series within the first few months after the move which warranted him leaving Austin, TX and subsequently moving to Los Angeles soon thereafter in 2001. After a few years in Los Angeles, J. Omar studied the Meisner Technique at Playhouse West in North Hollywood to which he credits for truly understanding the craft and his exponential growth as an Actor. He continues to develop his craft between film and television projects steadfast in further development of his ever-evolving craft.
