Javi Mulero - Biography

"This is an actor who can make the theater tremble." - Welton Jones, 'San Diego Union-Tribune'

"Mulero makes a startling transformation as a man who, without love, must suffer all the harsh rules and ravages of time." - Laurie Winer, 'LA Times'

"One of the surprises of this handsome, lush production, is that one roots for him as one would root for life. As played by the very appealing Javi Mulero, (he) manages to be at once charismatic and ruthless, seductive and repellent. The moment one dismisses him, there is an almost hypnotic desire to pull him back, if only to see what outrageous thing he will do next." - Nancy Churnin, 'LA Times'

Javi Mulero, born in San Juan, Puerto Rico in El Condado, began his theatrical acting career in Plays and Industrial Films in Chicago, IL, to where he moved right after his University years and where he obtained two of his first acting Union Cards, having secured an agent in LA by the time he moved there 3 ½ years later.

His first speaking role on TV was in one of the first episodes of "Doogie Howser, M.D.", in which he got to display his English and Spanish bilingual skills. At the same time, he started working in various Equity workshops in plays at both the Mark Taper Forum (LA) and South Coast Rep (Costa Mesa, CA) thanks to the late, great Stanley Soble and Ms. Martha McFarland, respectively. Other roles followed in TV's "Hunter," "Murder She Wrote," "Super Force," "E.R.", "Resurrection Blvd", "Matlock", and a few TV Pilots and movies-of-the-week.

Theater kept calling and he worked in full productions at the Mark Taper Forum, Taper Too (at John Anson Ford), South Coast Rep., Bilingual Foundation of the Arts, Sierra Rep., Dallas Theater Center, Arizona Theatre Co., and Pasadena Playhouse, among others.

He created, among others, two roles in two different Humana Festivals at Actors Theatre of Louisville: the role of 'Nelson De la Luna" in "Cloud Tectonics," which he soon after reprised at La Jolla Playhouse, Playwrights Horizon (NYC), and Santa Fe Stages; as well as the enigmatic central role of 'Zhao' in the comedy "Natural Selection." Javi also toured for 7 months in the Pulitzer Prize Winner "Anna in the Tropics," going from Dallas, Tucson, Phoenix, and into the legendary Pasadena Playhouse, in CA. He also did other different productions of "Anna" in Sonora, CA; at the Hippodrome (Gainesville, FL); at the Open Fist (LA), and with Bonnie Franklin's Classic Contemporary American Plays.

Javi has never ever missed a performance, yet. Ever.

Other great turns in TV Guest spots include "NYPD Blue", "Ironside", "NCIS", "The Ghost Whisperer", "Cane", and "Bosch: Legacy", among many others (like "Reyes y Rey" and "Four Corners"). He appeared in the opening segment of the Sci-Fi movie "Tremors 3" and in the recent Festival darling/Movie Musical "Calle de la Resistencia", which was recently released by Caribbean Cinemas in Puerto Rico, where it played for 12 weeks. He has worked on TV with Jimmy Smits, Dennis Franz, Angela Lansbury, Ann-Margret, Sonia Braga and Mimi Rogers.

Javi trained with Joanna Sanchez (Meisner Method); Barbara Gaines, in Chicago (Shakespeare); and for 10 months with the late Lynn Redgrave, every week (Shakespeare Master-Class).

Javi is also a writer; has had several of his Plays both workshopped and produced; he is a Member of ALAP (Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights); SAG-AFTRA; and AEA.
