Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Julian Vada was born in Los Angeles Ca and remained there until the age of eleven. Due to the violence in the neighborhood he was living in, his mother sent him to live in a small town in Texas with his father temporarily. His stay ended up being long term due to the proper education he was receiving. He went to Jr High and High school in Stratford Tx and was involved in football, track, music, art and loved English and History class. He recalls always looking forward to going to those classes every single day. Known to be extremely shy and reserved and referred to as a "mysterious guy", Julian could have been a typical high school jock since he was a good football player. Instead of hanging out with the "it" crowd, after school he dedicated his time to his studies, work and building his knowledge on health and fitness. Another activity he dearly loved since the age of twelve. Julian always avoided being the center of attention and would get frights when he would stand up to give a presentation in speech classes or reading out loud in any other activities. Though he toughened it up and did well, inside he felt very "insecure". School plays were out of the question, he dodged all of them due to the shell he was in. Never did it cross his mind that one day he would be bitten by the acting bug.

Upon graduating from high school he kept working at a local grocery store and during work he wondered of what he would do for the rest of his life. In order to please his family, three months later he enrolled at a community college in Amarillo Tx and studied instrumentation and control technology. Still not sure what he was born to do, he continued for almost two years until he decided not to enroll for the next semester. He instead decided to work at a nightclub as a DJ, part time bookstore clerk in a mall and stayed loyal to his health and fitness lifestyle. One day on his way to work to the bookstore he was approached by a talent Agent from the area and was asked to bring some snap shots as he had the looks to model and perhaps act also. At the time he thought it was crazy but after a while he decided to participate. He eventually had the courage to take some trial acting classes and right then and there he fell in love with the craft of film acting. 

Two months later he had his very first audition for a commercial and booked the Spanish spokesman part of Waiting Teens. Several months later he booked another commercial for McCormick Advertising Company as the rude delivery man. Soon after he modeled for Target, Walmart and Hastings. Also did some shoots for independent photographers for their portfolios. He eventually moved on to Los Angeles to get better opportunities and studied under James Garde at the Actors Workout Studios, Susan Batson and Greg Braum at Black Nexxus Studios and now The New Collective under Greg Braum. He is also part of The Focus Ring in North Hollywood. Julian has enjoyed his time in California as he is doing everything he loves to do. Ever since moving back to the Golden State he has worked in independent films, student films and featured in numerous tv shows and large budget films.

Has four brothers and one sister. Miguel Meza, David Alejandro Marquez, Luciano Bravo Jr., Jonathan Alexander Bravo and Cristina Torrico.
