Biography

Derek Viveiros, a trailblazing and innovative cinematic storyteller, has consistently showcased an extraordinary ability to transcend the limitations imposed by modest financial resources, thereby allowing his artistic genius to flourish and shine through in his work.

Born and raised in the heart of Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, Derek's distinct New England accent still lingers on the tip of his tongue, making a subtle reappearance after a few drinks.

Initially, his passion for acting drove him to pursue a career in the spotlight, which ultimately led him to make the bold decision to relocate to the vibrant city of Los Angeles.

Throughout his years spent navigating the ever-changing landscape of the entertainment industry, Derek managed to secure a string of small yet notable roles in both television and film, as well as numerous commercials that showcased his versatility as a performer.

However, as time went on, Derek began to feel an insatiable itch for a change of scenery, a desire that eventually led him to enroll in the prestigious Second City Improv, a renowned institution that has produced some of the most talented comedic minds in the industry.

With the intention of taking only a single class, Derek instead found himself completing the entire conservatory program, a decision that would prove to be a pivotal turning point in his artistic journey.

As he honed his skills in storytelling and developed a remarkable knack for crafting outlandish, sidesplitting tales, Derek's future as a master of comedy began to take shape, his unique voice and perspective slowly emerging to captivate audiences everywhere.

Derek's artistic pursuits have been characterized by an abundance of sketches, which have been scattered across various mediums, with a substantial portion of these creative expressions having been subsequently withdrawn from circulation due to their explicit nature.

Derek's piercing stare is currently directed towards the distant horizon, as he is actively involved in the endeavour of marketing and promoting his two uniquely conceived television series to leading streaming services, with the ultimate goal of expanding the reach and scope of his creative vision to a broader and more extensive audience.
