Andrés Rodriguez began his acting career at the State University of New York at New York with the role of Eddie Carbone in Arthur Miller's View From the Bridge, where he came to appreciate the full scope of an actor's responsibility. Andrés was born in Santiago de Cali, Colombia, but was raised in New York. A bit of a late bloomer in regards to playing, Andrés began his acting career during his senior year of high school, and has been in love with it ever since. However, he grew up spending most of his time at Blockbuster and obsessing over a new film each week. He would often drive his parents crazy with the new personas that he would inherit from the characters he was exposed to. His fascination with the craft of acting has led him to UW’s PATP program where he has met people that have forever changed and enriched his life. He is happiest when he is spending time with his friends and family, who constantly invigorate him with hope and inspiration. Andrés is so thankful for his time at UW and is excited for what the future holds!ACCESS THE LAUNCH THE CLASS OF 2021 CROWDFUNDING PAGE
