Brandon Larracuente sparks his passion for entertainment and reignites his inspirations at every corner. Pushing the bounds of storytelling, his performances transcend the screen and touch the hearts of viewers. The Thirteen Reasons Why actor continues to explore new creative avenues and roles as he sets himself up for his directorial debut coming in 2022.
Born and raised in New York, Larracuente's original passion was baseball. Playing competitive sports for over 10 years taught him the discipline and dedication that he brings to his crafts each and every day. The actor, who recently started directing, has worked on some of the most socially impactful shows in the past few years. Both Netflix's Thirteen Reasons Why, a show that tackles mental health, and Freeform's Party of 5, a complex drama surrounding immigration, have left views with a sense of representation, education, and meaning alongside entertainment. These stories, the ones that feel real and raw, are the stories that Larracuente's passion was meant for.
Larracuente got his start doing off-broadway plays in New York City before moving to Florida and booking commercial work. Little did he know, an open casting call his mom found on Facebook would turn into his first recurring television role, a 3-year run on television drama Bloodline. Working alongside professional actors turned Larracuente's passion from baseball to acting as he began honing in on his craft.
Once moving to LA, Larracuente's career began to snowball, booking multiple projects including Netflix's Bright. In his spirit of dedication, Larracuente also finished a 4-year bachelor's degree in Communication remotely, studying in between shoots. Brandon Larracuente has since dove into producing and directing. His upcoming directorial debut, short film Saturday Morning is his first project starring alongside his wife Jazmin Garcia-Larracuente. The power couple is working to create a diverse production company with strong values in representation and story that combines their passions for producing, Brandon's love for directing, and Jazmin's knack for writing.
Living by the motto his mother always told him, "remember who you are," Larracuente exemplifies the drive, dedication, and discipline it takes to succeed in Hollywood. By constantly honing in on his crafts, re-igniting his passions, and searching for meaningful projects, Larracuente is set to touch the hearts of viewers for years to come.
