Nelson Estevez is a multifaceted New York City-born actor, filmmaker, and entrepreneur who has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Currently based in Los Angeles, he plays the role of Secret Service Agent Alonzo on Tyler Perry's The Oval, a BET series that follows the President of the United States.
Estevez's journey began with a Business Degree from Iona University, where he developed his entrepreneurial skills while also excelling in football and track & field. However, his true passion lay in storytelling, which led him to train at the renowned Terry Schreiber Studio in New York City. There, he honed his skills in theater before transitioning to the Los Angeles film industry.
Throughout his career, Estevez has worked on over 20 productions, including the critically acclaimed Hulu series Pam & Tommy and the David Fincher-directed thriller, The Killer, which premiered on Netflix. In addition to his acting work, he has also co-written, co-directed, and starred in his short film, Tubby Hook, which is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
Estevez's versatility extends to the commercial world, where he has worked with major brands such as State Farm, Honda, Captain Morgan, and Miller Lite. His dedication and strong work ethic are values that he has instilled in himself, thanks in part to the sacrifices made by his parents, who emigrated from the Dominican Republic to New York City to build a better life for their family.
Guided by his personal motto, "Make people want to do better because you showed up," Estevez brings a sense of passion and energy to every project he takes on. He is currently developing new film and TV projects while expanding his entrepreneurial ventures, and continues to push boundaries in both the creative and business worlds.
