Emilio Rivera Merritt

Born in the 1980s, I embraced an unpredictable life of twists and turns, growing up in poverty due to my parents' separation. TV and music provided solace, while my first acting class unveiled a passion that shaped my journey. Studying theater at a renowned institution, I pursued a career as an actor, playwright, director, and producer. Expanding into the film industry, I gained Canadian citizenship in 2022 and now proudly reside in Vancouver, cherishing my Mexican heritage alongside my gratitude for being in Canada.
