Biography.
Raymond Villanueva Vasco (he/him) is a second-generation Filipino-American actor, as well as a playwright & teaching artist, hailing from the idyllic suburbs of Irvine, California and his ancestral home of Bacolod, Philippines.
He graduated from Boston University with a BFA in Acting where he worked extensively on devised theatre productions and new work processes. It was there that he also began pursuing and honing his passion for playwriting.
His most recent performance credits include thrilling new works such as The Corruption of Morgana Pendragon (Arthur) and Patterns of Wind (Legacy).
He is currently based in the Southern California area.
Through his artistic work, Raymond strives to cultivate newfound spaces for those often unseen, deconstruct the nuanced legacies of Asian-diasporic identity, and ultimately understand what we as human beings value most importantly in life when there is only such an ephemeral time to experience it.
When Raymond is not creating art, he enjoys spending his time roaming around national parks, hitting the gym in the early hours of the day, gaming until the latest hours of the night, indulging in way too much overpriced Korean BBQ, and daydreaming about one of his many favorite slice-of-life anime.
I’m like a very neutral good.
