Meet Rocio de la Grana, she is from Argentina but based in Los Angeles. She studied acting in Los Angeles Performing Arts Conservatory.
She realised she had passion more for acting after studying Filmmaking but discovered she wants to be in front of the Camera, she has always loved to perform and dance on stage as a hobby but realised she wanted to do it professionally for the rest of her life.
Her curiosity to search into how an actor becomes a character started while she was still studying to be a Filmmaker, while directing sometimes when an actor doesn't show and she has to feel in, she usually enjoys it and was also fascinated about all the preparations of the character. As a director she saw a deeper perspective in acting, and writing about the characters and their stories and she felt a strong attraction to performing, each time she had to fill in for an actor that didn't show up she always gets calls afterwards for acting and photoshoot and that was a sign that she was born for this!
It wasn't an easy decision to abandon what she was studying and pursue acting especially because of her shy nature and what others would think but after thinking about how happy it made her, she made up her mind to move to LA to pursue her dream and be a professional actor.

She has experienced a lot in life and that usually comes in handy as she can access a wide range of emotions and pull off different characters, she is a great listener, she also get inspired by her co actors because she believes in order to inspire others, you must first be inspired.
