Jorge Luna was born into a family of artists in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where his mother, a children's story writer, and father, a requinto and guitar player, worked as health-care consultants while raising their three children, Monchi, Noris, and Jorge. As the youngest sibling, Luna was determined to be the first to realize his artistic dream.
At the age of seven, he was inspired by a virtuoso circus performance by the Circolo troop, and a few years later, he discovered his love for performing arts when he started working as a DJ, spinning tracks in nightclubs and venues until he found his central passion, acting.
Luna is drawn to roles that require a physical challenge and is particularly adept at radically reinventing himself from role to role. Some of his favorite theater roles have been Marat in The Promise, Felisardo in Los Melindres de Belisa, and Trissotin in Moliere's The Learned Ladies, in which he played full tilt the character's flamboyance.
His roles have been far-reaching, ranging from antagonist Iachimo in Cymbeline to the visionary Vlass in Summer folk. He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. Other roles have included Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, Cassius in Julius Caesar, and Trinculo in The Tempest.
In film, Luna has played characters that demand a full emotional engagement. Recently, he played one of the four leads in John D. Harkrider's All the Beautiful Things, a role he developed with the director. He can also be seen in a national commercial for Radio Shack.
Luna is multilingual, fluent in Portuguese, and native in both English and Spanish. He is also a photographer and a guitar player.
