Edgar Rodriguez

Southern California native Edgar Rodriguez is an actor, known for The Christ Slayer (2019), The Long Walk (2019), Voyages of the San Salvador - Cabrillo's Journey (2017), and Envenenado (2013). At a young age, Edgar discovered his love for performance, appearing in school productions, ballet folklórico, and later earning “Best Actor” honors in high school. While briefly attending SDSU, he continued acting and performing original music before eventually rejoining the workforce with several odd jobs, then shifting his focus to graphic design, earning an Associate’s Degree from Platt College in San Diego. Immediately after graduation, Rodriguez began a career as a graphic artist, landing a job at the local paper. During this time, he also joined a couple of bands, before reigniting his passion for acting with background work on Into the Wild (2007). He went on to appear in numerous film and television productions, eventually booking speaking roles including pilot Bartolomé Ferrer in Voyages of the San Salvador – Cabrillo’s Journey for Cabrillo National Monument. He also worked both behind and in front of the camera on The Christ Slayer and earned a Best Actor award at SDSU’s Emerging Filmmakers Film Festival for his role as "Bo" in the short film The Long Walk.

In addition to on-camera work, Rodriguez is an experienced bilingual voice actor, performing character and commercial voices and narrating audio tours including The Musei Capitolini, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park, Battleship Texas State Historic Site, and his favorite, Mission San Juan Capistrano. He has also designed award-winning posters for independent films for the local and regional film communities.

When time and life allows, he enjoys camping, hiking, woodworking, riding his beach cruiser, animating GIFs, learning new languages, working with his power tools or just tinkering in the garage.

Rodriguez is also credited for having designed a few movie posters for local filmmakers, including Pulp Friction (2021), Lisa's World (2019), The Dating Artist (2018), Motherly Advice (2018), When Howie Met Ronnie (2018), and 92115 (2018) which won an award at the Oniros Film Festival.

A multidisciplinary creative, Rodriguez continues to pursue acting and voiceover, while continuing to do design work, and even the occasional translation or side-hustle, among other projects. With the goal of landing representation and voicing an animated character in a major series or feature film, he continues to develop and polish his resume. At a young age he did a lot of writing, songwriting, music and poetry and is hoping to one day use his abilities and imagination to bring one of his own stories to life. Future endeavors focus on developing original stories of his own for stage or screen, behind or in front of the camera, as well as expanding his graphic design business.
