      Actor Bio
      Marc Fajardo was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. He graduated from Glendale High School and continued his education at the University of California, Santa Cruz where he double majored in Film and Community Studies. During his time at UC Santa Cruz, he choreographed and danced with, Haluan, a hip hop dance team. His aspirations in becoming a film director veered as his curiosity into acting dominated upon returning back home in L.A., which led him to study at the Ivana Chubbuck Studio, Brian Reise and at the Groundlings.
       
      Marc Fajardo has always wanted to be a performer and be able to make people laugh or be amazed. A big part of his inspiration was from his family. At a young age he was always the center of attention. His aunts and uncles would pay him one dollar to sing "Unchained Melody" which is the theme song to the movie 'Ghost', and "If I were a Rich Man", in the play "Fiddler on the Roof" where he saw his sister perform.
       
      Another big part of his inspiration was his skills in dancing. As a hip hop/b-boy performer, he felt that he could amaze people with his flexibility and movements. It is an empowering feeling for him to grab the attention of people by not saying anything and just move to the music. He has competed in the bay area with his hip hop dance team, Haluan and have placed first at Battlefest 2002. He was a coordinator for Haluan in 2005 and has competed again at Battlefest, and found himself growing as a visionary artist.
       
      He wanted to evolve even more and not just stick to dancing. Having studied film and being behind the camera for so long throughout his college years, he thought it was about time to be in the forefront. He had the itch to be in the spotlight but in a different, fresh way. His curiosity in acting grew after having been a part of the multi-cultural theater group, Rainbow Theater during his last year at UC Santa Cruz.
       
      He has currently written, directed, edited, and shot his first 'serious' short film entitled 'Shel', that is under consideration at five different film festivals. He has written and directed other projects ranging from music videos, social documentaries, and commercial specs. His past projects were accepted at the International Asian American Film Festival, Bindlestiff Film Festival, Williamsburg Film Festival, and the public access channel in Manhattan, Youth Channel Department.
       
      In having many skills under his belt with dancing, directing, and acting, he now aspires to combine all three arts in his film projects. His main favorite actors are Charlie Chaplin, Peter Sellers, Johnny Depp, Jack Nicholson, and Daniel Day-Lewis.
