Javier Calderon

Acting

Born 1972-11-13 · Hato Rey, Puerto Rico

avier Calderon was born in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, and moved from the city of Toa Alta with his parents and two older sisters to the United States when he was four. By the age of three, he was already drawing and, a few short years later, began playing the piano and the guitar. Aside from a few less than stellar piano lessons when young, he never received any formal training in the arts - singing, playing electric and bass guitars, the piano, and various percussive instruments solely by ear. He received a degree in Philosophy from The University of Texas in San Antonio and, a few years later, moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the arts. Along with his various artistic pursuits, Javier is also an accomplished pugilist. As an amateur, he competed at the national level of the sport, and, as a professional, he has shared the ring and been in training camps with some of the best boxers that have ever put on a pair of gloves. He currently lives in Hollywood, California.
