Javi Mulero, born in San Juan, Puerto Rico in El Condado, began his theatrical acting career in Plays and Industrial Films in Chicago, Illinois, where he moved right after his university years and obtained two of his first acting Union Cards, having secured an agent in Los Angeles by the time he moved there three and a half years later.
His first speaking role on television was in one of the first episodes of "Doogie Howser, M.D.", in which he got to display his English and Spanish bilingual skills. At the same time, he started working in various Equity workshops in plays at both the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and South Coast Rep in Costa Mesa, California, thanks to the late Stanley Soble and Ms. Martha McFarland, respectively.
Other roles followed in television shows such as "Hunter", "Murder She Wrote", "Super Force", "E.R.", "Resurrection Blvd", "Matlock", and a few television pilots and movies-of-the-week.
Theater kept calling and he worked in full productions at the Mark Taper Forum, Taper Too at the John Anson Ford, South Coast Rep, Bilingual Foundation of the Arts, Sierra Rep, Dallas Theater Center, Arizona Theatre Co, and Pasadena Playhouse, among others.
He created, among others, two roles in two different Humana Festivals at Actors Theatre of Louisville: the role of "Nelson De la Luna" in "Cloud Tectonics", which he soon after reprised at La Jolla Playhouse, Playwrights Horizon in New York City, and Santa Fe Stages; as well as the enigmatic central role of "Zhao" in the comedy "Natural Selection".
Javi also toured for seven months in the Pulitzer Prize Winner "Anna in the Tropics", going from Dallas, Tucson, Phoenix, and into the legendary Pasadena Playhouse in California. He also did other different productions of "Anna" in Sonora, California; at the Hippodrome in Gainesville, Florida; at the Open Fist in Los Angeles, and with Bonnie Franklin's Classic Contemporary American Plays.
Javi has never ever missed a performance, yet. Ever.
Other great turns in television guest spots include "NYPD Blue", "Ironside", "NCIS", "The Ghost Whisperer", "Cane", and "Bosch: Legacy", among many others, such as "Reyes y Rey" and "Four Corners". He appeared in the opening segment of the Sci-Fi movie "Tremors 3" and in the recent Festival darling/Movie Musical "Calle de la Resistencia", which was recently released by Caribbean Cinemas in Puerto Rico, where it played for 12 weeks.
He has worked on television with Jimmy Smits, Dennis Franz, Angela Lansbury, Ann-Margret, Sonia Braga, and Mimi Rogers.
Javi trained with Joanna Sanchez (Meisner Method); Barbara Gaines, in Chicago (Shakespeare); and for 10 months with the late Lynn Redgrave, every week (Shakespeare Master-Class).
Javi is also a writer; has had several of his plays both workshopped and produced; he is a Member of ALAP (Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights); SAG-AFTRA; and AEA.
