Mateo Ray Garcia
Mateo Ray was born in Walnut Creek, CA and is a 11-year old young actor and slow fashion model. He was recently awarded as the 2022 and 2024 Young Artist Academy (YAA) winner for 'Best Young Actor in a Short Film' role for the PBS special, 'The Daily War' and the LA Shorts Film Festival film, 'See You at Sunrise'. He most recently appeared on the TV network series, 9-1-1, Mayans M.C., and Netflix's Magic for Humans John Mulaney's 'Everyone's in LA'. He has supporting roles in the award-winning film, 'The Divisible', and the online streaming film, 'The Purple Night'. As a 4-year-old toddler, he was noticed for his ethnic ambiguous features and began modeling his magnetic charisma, infectious energy, unique signature mop of golden curls, and his hazel eyes and sun kissed complexion. Very quickly Mateo Ray earned roles in numerous television, film and commercial productions. Additional credits include: FX/Hulu's 'Dave', NBA MLK Day TV commercial, WalMart, and a few live stand-up comedy gigs. In addition to building an impressive resume before age 11, Mateo Ray is on a personal mission to make friends on every set he works on, by consistently exuding charm and joy, paired with a shiny personality, mature work ethic and an affinity for telling a few good jokes. His family recently moved closer to Hollywood where he can more easily pursue his promising acting, modeling, and YouTuber (as Doughnut Daily subscriber) gamer career.
