Carlos Lacamara, a multifaceted individual, was born on November 11, 1958, in the vibrant city of Havana, Cuba. At the tender age of two, he and his parents, Adria and Carlos Sr., made the bold decision to flee their homeland amidst the tumultuous Cuban Revolution. This marked the beginning of their journey, which would take them to various parts of the world, including Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and ultimately, California, where Carlos currently resides.

Carlos's educational pursuits led him to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA),where he earned his degree. He then embarked on an acting career, initially focusing on looping jobs, which involved providing voiceovers for films such as Big, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, Jurassic Park, and Team America: World Police, among others.
