Biography

Hector, a multi-ethnic individual of Tarahumara Indian, Mexican, and Spanish descent, hails from the United States. His formative years were spent navigating the streets of Los Angeles, where he developed a unique set of skills by selling oranges and collecting recyclable cans alongside his mother.

This tumultuous upbringing was marked by poverty, gang violence, and drug-related issues, ultimately leading to his incarceration. However, despite the challenges he faced, Hector's determination to break free from the cycle of adversity led him to pursue higher education.

He enrolled in a community college, where he discovered a passion for the performing arts, specifically sword fighting on stage in a production of Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing'. This experience not only honed his acting skills but also instilled in him a sense of purpose.

Hector's academic trajectory continued at the University of Southern California (USC),where he graduated cum laude with a degree in theatre. His exceptional talent and dedication earned him the prestigious Jack Nicholson Award for Best Actor.

From being known as 'Hector the can collector' to becoming a promising actor, his journey is a testament to the transformative power of education and perseverance. With his sights set on the Hollywood silver screen, Hector is now poised to make a lasting impact in the entertainment industry.
