Felipe
Carrasco

Felipe grew up in Iowa City, IA, as the youngest of three in a family of five. Most of his days as a little one were spent on the soccer field where he began his career in playing make believe: practices were not just practices - but rather, World Cup Championships where the Soccer God's struck with fervor. Outside the drama on the field, Felipe did manage to find his way to the theater, donning a cow suit as he sang Snoopy's 'Suppertime' in a local Children’s show. In truth, however, his first entrance into the dramatic art of acting was long before all this: when his older sister had him play the lead role of Chucky in a classic hand-held, home-made video. His emergence from the family cabinet made for a cinematic moment that has stuck with him to this day. Fast forward to his twenties, after playing three years of Division I Collegiate Soccer, Felipe finally found his way back to the stage and camera at the University of Iowa. From there, he continued his pursuit of Acting in both Iowa and Chicago, eventually playing Jason in the Goodman Theatre’s production of Sweat, before heading down to Southern Methodist University to get his MFA in Acting.

When not working, Felipe enjoys spending time with his loved ones, loved animals, outside in nature on the water, trail, or mountain, writing, reading a book, studying history, philosophy, and Critical Race Theory, practicing mindfulness, meditation, and spirituality, playing most any sport or play time game, and almost always, always...playing and writing music.
