ABOUT EMILIO RIVERA MERRITT

I was born in the 1980s in Mexico City. I’ve experienced a life filled with unpredictable twists and turns.

I Grew up with many struggles due to my parent’s separation, identity crises, and sexual confusion.

Still, I learned extensive valuable lessons that shaped my character for good. Film, TV and music became my solace, and I discovered my passion for acting very young.

In my early 20s, I decided to drop out of the communication major I was doing to go to the most prestigious university in Mexico to study Acting at a prestigious Theatre School; after graduation, I worked as an actor, playwright, director, and producer.

I also ventured into the film industry behind the scenes. I moved to Canada in 2013 and became a Canadian citizen in 2022.

Now despite the expansiveness of Vancouver, I still live here. I am happily married to a beautiful man. I came out of the closet late, and it was meant to be that way.

I am proud of my Mexican heritage and grateful to be now Canadian. And this is my mexYcan take.
