J.R. Gomez

Junior is an actor and singer born and raised in South Florida. His first passion was basketball and he was determined to make it to the NBA. That dream took a back seat when his twin sisters brought him to audition for the musical "Oliver!" He was cast as Oliver, and that's when his passion for theatre began. He clicked with the community of people and friends and how theatre brought people together. Junior has taken that principle along with him and earned his BFA in Musical Theatre at Texas State University under the direction of Kaitlin Hopkins. For TV and Film, he has studied with Bob Krakower for several years. Junior has also appeared in workshops/readings of new works (Theresa Rebeck and Kim Grigsby), plays, musicals, and studied abroad in London at the Renowned Globe Theatre and at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford Upon Avon. Besides Theatre, Junior is a proud father of his little puppies, Cosmo and Luna! They all share a love for the Miami Heat and a good cup of Cafe Con Leche. Junior has produced cabarets and short films and has a passion for teaching and helping future artists. He is based in Los Angeles and New York.
