Wilson Jermaine Heredia
- Actor

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Wilson J Heredia was always surrounded by
music. His mother was a seamstress and his father was a super. But they
were both very musical. He studied medicine, and thought about
advertising, but he realized he had to express himself, so he got into
acting. He worked at a railway station in NY before he auditioned for
the musical, RENT. He said he needed the $300 a week. Unbeknownst to
him, his stint with the hit-musical would bring him popularity as a
singer, dancer and actor, fans from all over the world and both the
1996 Tony award and Drama Desk award for Best Featured Actor in a
Musical.
