WILSON CRUZ ( A C T O R ) Already highly regarded as one of today’s most talented young actors, Wilson Cruz is once again making waves on stage, television, and the big screen. This past winter, Cruz co-starred alongside Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Anniston in He’s Just Not That Into You for New Line Cinema. Last year he starred in the independent feature Coffee Date, for which he received critical praise and continued his groundbreaking role as HIV positive Dr. Junito Vargas on LOGO’s original series Noah’s Arc. Wilson also returned to the stage to star in the 1st National tour and West Coast premiere, at the Rubicon Theatre, of the Jonathan Larson musical tick, tick…BOOM! This past summer, Wilson was heard as the voice of Evan Martinez in LOGO’s new animated series Rick and Steve the Happiest Gay Couple in the World. Cruz first won the hearts of audiences playing ‘Rickie’, a troubled, introspective teenager on the critically acclaimed series, My So-Called Life. He again earned fans and critical acclaim for his role of ‘Angel’ in RENT which he began at the Ahmanson Theatre in LA and continued on Broadway. RENT became a theatrical phenomenon, winning both the Tony and Pulitzer Prize for Best Musical, while Wilson received the Theatre LA Ovation Award and the Dramalogue Award for his performance. While theatre audiences enjoyed the opening night of RENT, television audiences simultaneously appreciated Wilson’s widely ranging talent, with his dramatic and memorable guest appearance as a tortured transvestite airing on a special Christmas episode of David E. Kelley’s hit series, Ally McBeal. Hot off the success of RENT, Cruz landed a series regular role on the FOX hit drama Party of Five and his character quickly became an integral part of the show. Other television credits include guest appearances on the highly rated NBC dramas ER and The West Wing, the WB’s Related, TNT’s The Closer, and CBS’s NCIS. In 2008, Cruz was featured as a series regular on the premiere season of TNT’s hit drama series, Raising the Bar and most recently appeared on ABC’s Pushing Daisies. Cruz’s television career easily translated to the big screen with roles in such films as MGM’s sci-fi thriller Supernova and Disney’s Nixon, directed by Oliver Stone. He is also no stranger to the indie film world, starring in such films as Johns and All Over Me; both screened at the Sundance Film Festival and Joyride, starring opposite Tobey Maguire. He also starred in the cult hit Party Monster a hip, edgy story about infamous party promoters with Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green. Wilson has recently completed shooting on several independent features Ode, The Green Flash, The People I’ve Slept With, and Convincing Clooney.
