Juan Camilo Gonzalez, known professionally as JC Gonzalez, is a Colombian actor and singer-songwriter. His career began in 2009, when he participated in television commercials and advertisements in Texas.[1] Gonzalez was also a candidate on Making Menudo, an MTV reality show for which they selected twenty-five bilingual male singers. Gonzalez has also made appearances in film and television, such as Parks and Recreation and Los Americans.[2]

Early years

Gonzalez was born in Bogotá, Colombia. He has two younger siblings. Gonzalez was classified as a hyperactive child, and therefore earned the nickname of "terremoto" (Earthquake).[3][4] Gonzalez and his family moved to Houston when he was seven years old so that his younger brother could receive medical treatment.[5]

Gonzalez started his elementary school at Gimnasio Los Caobos in Bogota, Colombia and attended Clements High School in Sugar Land, Texas.[6][7]

Career

Music

Gonzalez has recorded original material as well as a remix of the song "El Perdón" by Enrique Iglesias and Nicky Jam.[8][9] As of 2016, Gonzalez was preparing his debut solo album, titled AwakIn,[10] which is set to feature songs in English and Spanish with a mix of Latin rhythms and American rap and pop.[11][12]

Television and cinema

Gonzalez began his acting career in television commercials in Texas.[9] After graduating from high school, Gonzalez moved to Los Angeles where he began working in commercials and television series.[13] He has done television commercials for Ford, Honda, and AT&T.[4]

In January 2007, Gonzalez auditioned for Making Menudo in Los Angeles.[14] He did not make the cut, and so he began dance lessons and auditioned again in Dallas.[7] In Dallas, he was selected by the Puerto rican singer Luis Fonsi and the radio announcer Daniel Luna as one of the twenty-five participants who would go to New York City where they were filmed in the Road to Menudo series.[15][16] Gonzalez was one of 15 from this group to move on to the show Making Menudo.[7]

As part of the show, Gonzalez along with fourteen other aspiring artists, was trained in singing and dancing in South Beach for almost four months.[17][18]

In 2009, Gonzalez appeared in the Parks and Recreation episode Sister City as Jhonny, a Venezuelan intern.[19][9]

In 2010, Gonzalez played the lead role in the video for Kaya Rosenthal (Can't Get You Out of My Mind). Gonzalez has also appeared in Locked Up Abroad, Hard Times, How to Rock, and Parenthood.[13] In 2010, Gonzalez played a role on Victorious in the episode (Survival of the Hottest).[20][21]

Gonzalez starred in Los Americans, an Internet series that was launched in May 2011.[22] In 2013, Gonzalez appeared in the web series Blue.[5] Gonzalez has also worked on other web series, including Ragdolls in 2013. In 2015, Gonzalez took on the role of Jake in the NCIS: New Orleans program, in the episode Blue Christmas.[23]

Personal life

Gonzalez grew up in Sugar Land, Texas, a suburb of Houston and currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
