J. Omar Castro

J. Omar Castro is the youngest of three brothers born of Honduran immigrant parents in a suburb of New Orleans, LA. With a passion for storytelling through art that imitates life, J. Omar is pursuing a doctorate at Rossier and is concurrently enrolled in the School for Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. He holds a Bachelor of Arts and GMBA from Tulane University and is a proud military veteran, having served 7 years in the U. S. Air Force. Although he performed in several plays at the grade school age, he enrolled in an acting class during his junior year at Tulane on a whim. As a result, he refueled an underlying passion, and it was at that time he began to develop a sustainable plan to always fuel his work as an artist. Upon completing his undergraduate studies and military service, J. Omar moved to Austin, Texas, to further develop his craft as an Actor in a Master in Fine Arts Program at the University of Texas.

He booked his first television role in a Navy Seals Mini Series within the first few months after the move, which warranted him leaving Austin, TX and subsequently moving to Los Angeles soon thereafter in 2001. After a few years in Los Angeles, J. Omar studied the Meisner Technique at Playhouse West in North Hollywood, which he credits for truly understanding the craft and his exponential growth as an Actor. He continues to develop his craft between film and television projects steadfast in further development of his ever-evolving craft.
