Felipe Figueroa(III)
- Actor
- Casting Director
- Director
Born and raised in Connecticut, Felipe is the oldest child of a
Pentecostal, middle class family. He excelled in school and by the time
he got to high school, wanted to join the National Honor Society.
Realizing that he needed to have extracurricular activities in order to
be accepted, he joined many of them including the drama club. His first
show was the musical "Sweet Charity" and he immediately found a new
passion. This show changed his occupational aspirations from attorney
to actor. He maintained his academic prowess and graduated near the top
of his class. He was accepted to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts where
he studied acting and musical theater. After graduating early, he began
auditioning for musical theater projects and spent two years doing
regional and summer stock theater. He took a break from the business to
manage a dental office in Philadelphia which he helped build from the
ground up. In 2012, he hung up his manager hat and moved to LA to begin
pursuing his acting career once again.
