Throughout his education he trained under notable teachers such as Moctesuma Esparza, Jose Luis Valenzuela, Jacque Heim at UCLA and Ron Leibman, Barbara Poitier, and Susan Aston among others in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Since returning to Los Angeles, he has steadily worked in film, television, commercials, and print. Highlights from his TV career include recurring roles on FX Network\u2019s \u201cSnowfall,\u201d where he was directed by John Singleton, USA Network\u2019s \u201cQueen of the South\u201d as the right-hand man of a drug kingpin and TNT\u2019s \u201cAnimal Kingdom.\u201d\u00a0 He has also guest starred in hit series such as \u201cDexter,\u201d \u201cWeeds,\u201d \u201cDead To Me,\u201d and \u201cInsecure,\u201d among others.<\/p>\n<p>His most notable film role is in the Clint Eastwood directed Warner Bros. film \u201cSully\u201d starring Tom Hanks.\u00a0Bernardo\u00a0trained with a Navy Seal to portray real-life NYPD scuba diver \u2018Robert Rodriguez.\u2019 Robert was on the front lines rescuing passengers from the plane once it had safely landed in the Hudson River.<\/p>\n<p>Growing up,\u00a0Bernardo\u00a0considered himself dramatic and eccentric, participating in numerous school plays and pageants, singing and dancing. That passion turned into a true respect for the craft as a professional. He enjoys putting all the pieces of a character together from body language and speech to the emotional core, studying the script and finding clues to who the character is meant to be. As a Latin actor he is proud to be part of the turning of the tide as Hollywood expands its representation of what it means to be a Latin actor.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of acting, he enjoys travelling, having gone to Brazil for the World Cup, backpacked through Spain, and even attended a traveling acting school in Italy. Growing up, books were his escape, and he passes that on by reading to children in his spare time. He is also passionate about workers\u2019 rights and union\u2019s protective services.<\/p>\n<p>Proofread and Edited by <a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/06\/20\/biobrenda\/\">Brenda<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/interviews\/\">Back to the Primetime Articles and Interviews Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-40287\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/badillo3.png\" alt=\"Bernardo Badillo of &quot;This Fool&quot; on HULU\" width=\"145\" height=\"220\" \/><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV Interview! &nbsp; Interview with Bernardo Badillo of &#8220;This Fool&#8221; on HULU by Suzanne 8\/11\/22 This was a fun interview!
