Charles Dumont(II)
- Actor
Charles Dumont is an American actor who grew up in Granada, Spain and moved to the United States at the age of 16. While that did not make him really good at flamenco guitar, it did make him fluent in Spanish and an excellent dancer. Charles came into acting through an unusual path. His first career was in the space technology sector, where he designed electronics for satellites and interplanetary
spacecraft. A highlight was getting to design hardware for the Spirit and Opportunity rovers that landed on Mars. In fact, there is a little metal plaque on Mars with his name on it in a tiny font. Another project was designing the electronics for a habitat that flew on Space Shuttle Columbia to study if spiders would spin a web with no gravity. The spiders did not make it back since Columbia tragically burned up on re-entry but the video of the experiment did and...yes they do. After retiring, Charles took an acting class in Denver Colorado and never looked back. Charles is passionate about helping to tell grandiose stories like the ones that fired his imagination as a kid. He hopes to play a wizard some day, even just once.
