RAMON RODRIGUEZ: ACTOR

Ramon Rodriguez just may be our modern day’s Renaissance-Man; simply speaking of Ramon’s perpetual involvement in sports, music, dance, and acting can make one exhausted.  After graduating from New York University, Ramon has an accomplished career in acting, dancing, music, and even hoops! 

Ramon has been seen as a regular on ABC’s “Day Break,” with Taye Diggs.  After exciting audiences with roles on HBO’s “The Wire,” FX’s “Rescue Me,” and NBC’s “Law & Order: SVU,” it seems Ramon has found a fantastic home on the small screen.  The critically acclaimed show “The Wire” has brought back Ramon’s character Renaldo for their final and 5th season. 

On the big screen, Ramon is having a great year with five films coming out starting with “IRA & ABBY” on Sept. 14th. Followed by the award winning film “BELLA” on Oct. 26th. Then in March 2008 he can be seen in New Line Cinema’s “PRIDE & GLORY”, starring Ed Norton and Colin Farrell and also starring in “THE START UP”.  Finally he recently wrapped on “Surfer, Dude” starring opposite Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, which is expected to be released summer 2008.

Past credits include DEALBREAKER, directed by Gwyneth Paltrow, CARLITO’S WAY: RISE TO POWER, I’M BORICUA, JUST SO YOU KNOW, directed by Rosie Perez and THE WANNABE.

When not in front of the cameras, Ramon Rodriguez can be found working with the Abakua Latin Dance Company – an internationally touring salsa dance company he has been a part of since 2001.  He has performed with Abakua at Madison Square Garden in NYC, Puerto Rico, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more.  Even when not dancing, Ramon is still on his feet… on the basketball court.  In 2001 Ramon founded a basketball performance group called “Project Playground,” which has performed at numerous NBA and college half time games, including the Dallas Mavericks and New York Knicks, as well as NCAA champion schools University of Florida, University of Connecticut, and Tennessee. The group has also wowed audiences at festivals and corporate events worldwide. To relax, Ramon enjoys playing the piano and congas, dining-out, and spending time with family.

Ramon Rodriguez currently resides in New York City.
