Biography

Born and raised in the suburbs of San Francisco, Derek Lux is the youngest of four sons born to Chris and Christina Lux. Derek spent his early years training in martial arts before realizing his true calling of acting. After high school he took private voice lessons and acting classes with his eye set on Broadway. Soon disenchanted with musicals, he refocused on dramatic acting where he connected with acting teacher Shelley Mitchell, one of Lee Strasburg's former students.

During this time, Derek worked in voice over, commercials and independent films. After some initial hesitation of continuing with musicals, he accepted a part in Beach Blanket Babylon, the nation's longest running musical revue in history. After a 2 year stint in the show, he relocated to Los Angeles.

Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles he co-developed the feature length film Hush Hush, with close friend, writer and director Byron Gatt. Hush Hush proved to be quite the acting challenge as the entire film was conceived and shot without any spoken dialogue.

Derek lives and works in Los Angeles.
