Julian Cividanes is an actor, writer, filmmaker, and expert at making third-person bios. The son of a Jamaican mother and a Puerto Rican father, Julian grew up in Washington, DC, before graduating from NYU Tisch School of the Arts with training from The Meisner Studio and Stonestreet Studios. In addition to a love of genre cinema, from the laughs of Edgar Wright to the frights of Jordan Peele, his artistic worldview is a simple balance of education and entertainment - tell important stories, but always try to have some fun while doing so (and make sure the audience does too!).

Julian’s past credits include Ophelio in Princess Hamlet (The Flea Theater), a genderbent adaptation of Hamlet, Isai in The Infidels (The Pasternak Theater), a drama about a destructive year-long relationship, and Jules in the independent feature film Cat Video (currently in post-production), an experimental romance about a woman who falls in love with her cat after he turns into a human. His most recent project was playing Agent F in The Waco Tapes (The Vino Theater), a two-hander thriller set during the Waco siege of 1993, which also marked his debut as a professional playwright.

…oh, and it’s pronounced “siv-uh-daw-niss.”
