Meet Carlos Felipe Martinez!

Carlos is an actor from Mexico City. He is another graduate of the Humber Acting for Film and Television program, where he was the recipient of the Academic Award of Excellence and the Dorothy Phillips Memorial Award. Before coming to Canada, he graduated in Acting for Theatre from the prestigious Mexican acting school "CasAzul Artes Escenicas", headed by Argos Television. Carlos Felipe has worked in both Canadian and Mexican television series and in 2020, he finished developing a series which he wrote, produced, edited and starred in. His goal with the series is to bring attention to the difficult reality of foreign actors in the English speaking entertainment. He currently lives in Madrid.

In this episode we talk about the difficulties of gaining permanent resident (and union) status in Canada, why trauma can be a boon to artists, the benefits to casting non-actors in certain roles, and who would win in a fight... among many other things.
