Marcel Ruiz

Marcel has been in front of the cameras since his home birth in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, among a family of filmmakers. His career-launching role in the critically acclaimed Netflix sitcom One Day at a Time (2017) got him an Imagen Award for Best Young Actor and a Teen Choice Award nomination. He debuted on the big screen as the lead of the 20th Century Fox film Breakthrough (2019) and that same year was listed on Variety’s Top 10 Latinxs to Watch. He wrote, produced, and stars in his upcoming feature Summer of Three and is a part of the ensemble cast in Netflix’s new coming of age drama series The Body.
