Gustavo Márquez is a recent graduate of the Case Western Reserve University/Cleveland Play House MFA Acting Program. A first generation Mexican-American, he draws from his varied life experiences—from caring for his mother as she transitioned after a battle with cancer, to working as a janitor in Antarctica—in pursuit of telling stories that reflect his experience. Screen credits include AND JUST LIKE THAT..., CHICAGO P.D., and BLUE BLOODS, as well as roles at professional theatre companies such as Denver Center Theatre Company and Cleveland Play House.
