Today as the world welcomes the New Year, Carlos Gomez celebrates another birthday. Born in Miami, Carlos started his career in entertainment as a dancer. He is, what we call in the business, a “triple threat”…an actor, dancer, and singer. He showed off those skills in 2008 when he was one of the original cast members of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway play In The Heights. Gómez’s two songs, Inútil and Atención, were both part of the Grammy Award-winning musical soundtrack.
However, prior to his return to the stage, Carlos had already established himself as a film actor (Desperado, Fools Rush in, Enemy of the State, Mambo Kings, The Negotiator) and on television. He starred in Law & Order True Crime on NBC as Jose Menendez. He also co-starred in CBS’ hit drama series Madam Secretary as Agent Jose Campos. His series regular role on A&E’s The Glades earned him three Imagen Awards for Best Supporting Actor.
This past year Gomez was a series regular was on ABC series The Baker and the Beauty. Although the series was canceled after just one season, Carlos is just too good to stay unemployed for too long. Last month, it was announced that he landed a series regular role on Starz’s second season of Hightown. Gomez will play Rafael a charismatic and charming fisherman from New Bedford, MA, with a dark side. What a way to start the New Year…a Birthday ad a new gig.
Happy Birthday Carlos!
