Brenden Carrillo
- Actor
Raised in a suburb on the outskirts of Orlando, FL, Brenden Matthew Carrillo was a film junkie throughout his youth and was very fond of peculiar characters on screen. This led to his interest in starting a career in front of the camera.
In high school, Brenden joined TV Production, but not for the same reasons that most students do. He saw this as an opportunity to try out different character personas and push the envelope for what he could get away with on screen. This often got him in trouble due to his unconventional and controversial behavior. However, this did serve as an early stage for his love of acting out in front of the camera.
He decided to drop out of college after his first semester and quickly started landing principal roles in commercials. This eventually put him in the position to transition to TV & Film.
Within a year of booking principal & lead roles in commercials and short films, Brenden grew sick of being cast as a "pretty boy." So in 2018 he wanted to prove to himself that he could do something different. Despite having minimal theater experience, he managed to land the lead role as the Grinch at Universal Studios.
He now lives in Atlanta, GA where he is pursing roles in TV & Film.
This young actor strongly admires the peculiar character work of Sam Rockwell, Johnny Depp, and the late Heath Ledger.
