Title: Oscar Isaac

Stats: Born in Guatemala in 1980. A 2005 graduate of the Juilliard School.

Why NYIndieSeen Cares: Becuz I caught a first hand account of his acting onstage playing Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. This was in Manhattan's renowned Shakepeare In The Park!

Isaac's first major film role is as Joseph opposite Keisha Castle-Hughes in the film The Nativity Story. He just wrapped shooting on the Che Guevara biopic Guerrilla. In addition to movie appearances, he made an appearance in the television series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

As far as his performance in theater. He's on point. He has an amazing voice for the stage and he needs to be in more indie films. He's currently rumored to be dating Rosario Dawson.
