Richard Sosa

Director of Community Involvement

From the time I was 5 years old, I knew I wanted to be an actor. Although I grew up in New York City, acting was not meant to be, but I never lost my dream. I moved to South Florida and immediately got involved in theater. I now have the better part of two decades of theater experience as an actor under my belt. I then spent another seven years studying film and television technique at the University Center for the Performing Arts and the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theater. I’m familiar with various methods which I use in my acting technique. When I'm not in front of the camera, I work as a private acting coach and have taught workshops in several cities throughout Florida as well as New York and Puerto Rico. I’m very involved in the local film community, and have been interviewed on both television and radio for my work as an advocate for the industry in South Florida. I also enjoy making things happen behind the lens, whether it be as a writer, dialog coach, or producer.
