Today we’d like to introduce you to Antonio Andres Rosello.
Hi Antonio Andres, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I was born into a Venezuelan-Italian family, and from an early age, I was constantly adapting to new cultures, having lived in multiple countries. I speak four languages fluently—Spanish, English, Italian, and French—which has shaped my ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
My professional career as an actor started in Panama at 17, where I quickly immersed myself in theater, film, and television. Over the past six years, I’ve built a diverse portfolio, performing in six theater plays, three feature films, a TV series, and over 40 short films, while also working with some of the biggest brands in the world, including Ralph Lauren, Samsung, and Tommy Hilfiger.
During the pandemic, I unexpectedly found a global audience through social media, growing my TikTok platform to over 800,000 followers, which expanded my reach as an actor internationally. At the same time, I pursued higher education, earning a marketing degree on a scholarship from Florida State University, with minors in film and humanities.
Now, I’m based in Los Angeles, continuing my career while training at Stella Adler Academy, honing my craft in one of the most competitive acting landscapes in the world. My journey has been about constant evolution—blending performance, storytelling, and digital media to create opportunities and shape my career in ways I never could have predicted.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road, but I believe challenges shape resilience. Growing up Venezuelan, I witnessed firsthand the economic struggles and instability that affected my country. While my family moved around, adapting to new places and cultures, I often felt like I didn’t fully belong anywhere. This sense of displacement pushed me to work even harder, constantly proving myself in new environments.
Breaking into the entertainment industry, especially coming from Latin America, wasn’t easy. In Panama, the industry is small, and opportunities are limited. I had to create my own, whether through independent projects or collaborations, always pushing forward with whatever resources were available.
Then, moving to Los Angeles brought its own set of challenges. The industry is highly competitive, and despite my experience, I had to start fresh—building connections, refining my craft, and navigating the realities of making it in Hollywood. Adapting to a new country again, this time in such a high-stakes environment, required persistence and a willingness to keep learning.
But every challenge has reinforced my passion and determination. I’ve learned that success in this field isn’t just about talent; it’s about consistency, adaptability, and staying true to your vision, no matter how uncertain the path may seem.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
The Rising Venezuelan Star Since Édgar Ramírez: The Youngest Venezuelan Actor in Hollywood
I am an actor, content creator, and storyteller, carving my path as the youngest Venezuelan actor in Hollywood. My career began in Panama at 17, where I built a strong foundation in theater, film, and television, performing in six theater plays, three feature films, a TV series, and over 40 short films. Over time, I expanded my reach internationally, collaborating with major brands like Ralph Lauren, Samsung, and Tommy Hilfiger, merging my skills in acting and marketing.
What truly sets me apart is my global perspective and adaptability. I have lived in Venezuela, England, Panama, Germany, and the U.S., and I speak four languages fluently—Spanish, English, Italian, and French. This allows me to connect with diverse audiences and take on multilingual roles, making me a versatile presence in the industry.
During the pandemic, I gained international recognition through social media, amassing over 800,000 followers on TikTok, where I share my career journey to educate, entertain, and inspire. My platform isn’t just about showcasing my work—it’s about opening doors for others and providing insight into the entertainment industry.
Beyond acting, I am committed to giving back. As a voluntary ambassador for the Panamanian Red Cross, I use my platform to raise awareness for important causes. I believe in using my visibility to inspire and empower others, proving that with resilience and vision, anything is possible.
Currently, I am based in Los Angeles, continuing my career while training at the prestigious Stella Adler Academy, refining my craft in one of the most competitive acting landscapes in the world. I have exciting projects in the works, including upcoming roles that will further establish my presence in the industry.
My ultimate goal? To cement myself as the next big Venezuelan star in Hollywood—following in the footsteps of Édgar Ramírez while forging my own unique path. I am here to break barriers, redefine expectations, and make an impact—not just as an actor, but as a force in the industry.
What were you like growing up?
I’ve always been curious, adaptable, and hardworking, but growing up, I often felt like the underdog—the new kid wherever I went. Moving between countries at a young age meant constantly adjusting to new cultures, languages, and social circles. It wasn’t always easy, but it made me resilient, quick to adapt, and open to new experiences.
Acting has been part of my life since I was nine years old when, despite being brand new to my school in England, I landed the lead role in the Christmas nativity play. That experience sparked a passion that never left me. I was also deeply involved in academics and athletics, excelling in school while competing in debate tournaments and traveling with my soccer team.
Throughout my education, I won multiple academic awards, balancing my intellectual pursuits with my love for sports and performance. I was always energetic, focused, and respectful, committed to pushing myself in every aspect of life.
As I’ve matured, I’ve come to truly embrace my multicultural background—understanding how it has shaped me and given me a unique perspective. The ability to move between different worlds, both literally and figuratively, has fueled my storytelling and my drive to make an impact in the entertainment industry.
