Acting is what we do every day - instinctively.....Gerardo was born in Galicia, Spain, and his family moved to Germany when he was six years old, where he grew up trilingual in Galician, Spanish and German. His dream was to become a pilot or actor.Later he got his degrees in Economics and Political Science, gained experience as accredited journalist and defense expert (Aviation, Navy, Army), and he visited 43 countries in Europe, South & North America, Africa and Asia.His hobbies are aviation (aircraft models), flying gliders, history, photography, and - guess what? - movies.Gerardo from an early age on enjoyed entertaining and motivating people, being a comedian for student parties & Salsa dancing events, gained experience as a model and in acting: his first 'growling' part at the age of 7 was a lion! A big passion is also imitating voices and accents, and another dream is to start a puppet theatre for kids. For his 2-year old son, he invents songs on a regular basis. He was the opening-voice recording for the Arts Club Theatre's Don Quixote and has volunteered for several Vancouver theatre companies for set building, light/sound, German/Spanish language coaching and in stage management.Here in Vancouver, Gerardo signed up to be a performer and has been enjoying the work immensely. So he is extremely thrilled to be able to start as an UBCP Apprentice performer now - back to a lifelong calling! In addition to being an actor, though, it is very important for Gerardo to contribute to a professional and fun atmosphere on set and to meet people, learn about their cultures and ways of life. Also he was part of Steven Hide
