Jose Pablo Cantillo

Jose Pablo Cantillo, born on March 30, 1979, is an American actor with Costa Rican heritage. Growing up in Terre Haute, Indiana, he was affectionately known as 'Joey' during his high school years. Cantillo attended Terre Haute South Vigo High School, where he excelled in tennis, contributing to the team’s impressive achievement as State Runner-Up in 1996. He furthered his education at Indiana University, graduating in 2002 with a double major in Finance and Marketing.

Inspired by his experience in drama classes at Indiana University, Cantillo made the bold decision to pursue acting professionally in New York City. In late 2003, he relocated to California with his wife Kristi and their daughter, who was 7 years old at the time, settling in Santa Clarita—a community that evokes memories of his hometown.

Cantillo's early career included performances in off-Broadway productions, which paved the way for him to secure guest appearances on several popular television series from the early 2000s onward. Following 2006, he began to land more substantial roles, both supporting and leading, further establishing his presence in the entertainment industry.
