ELVIS NOLASCO, Dillon

Elvis Nolasco was born in New York City, the second of three sons of parents from the Dominican Republic. From a young age Elvis was drawn to entertainment, when as a young boy he would spend evenings dancing to Latin music in his family home. His love of Salsa led to an interest in break dancing, where he spent nights dancing with legendary break dancers, Soul Sonic Rockers and Rock Steady Crew. His dance ability and style would later help to open doors to establish a solid career that spans film, theatre and television.‘’

Soon after arriving in Philadelphia to study acting, Elvis began winning a succession of leading roles in theatres around Philadelphia including the Arden, Freedom Theatre and American Musical Theatre Festival. It was at about this time that Elvis would meet Ed Shockley (Badman, Stone Mansion, Bobos), Grammy winner James McBride (Bobos) and Tony Vinto (Badman), forging friendships that continue until this day. It was not long before Elvis was picked to co-star in the hit comedy I Like It Like That with Lauren Valez and Academy, Grammy and Emmy winning actress Rita Morena. Soon Elvis was cast by Spike Lee for the cast of Clockers with Meki Phiffer and Del Roy Lindo. Elvis began building a line of great performances in several independent hits. Including his critically acclaimed role in the film In Search of a Dream, the first all Spanish speaking cast sanctioned by the screen actors guild and the number one grossing independent Latino film.

Elvis has generated a stream of memorable film characters including roles in The Kitchen, Rock Steady, Vodka Rocks, Inconsolable Memories, I’m Not Rappaport, Prison Song, Philadelphia, and his recent role in Secuestro on the Showtime network.

Elvis has guest starred in several television series including Law & Order, NYPD Blue, Law & Order ( S.V.U.) and Third Watch. He appeared in the recurring role as Abe in the Spike Lee series, Miracle Boys. Elvis continues to appear on stage, working both off Broadway and regional theatre including New York Theatre Works, Baltimore Center Stage, Young Playwright Festival and INTAR.

Elvis co-founded Brotherhood Entertainment-The Movement, a management company representing the hip hop artist Mr. Nobles in his solo debut.

Currently, Elvis is in post production on Badman, a short film he co-produced through his Quisqueyanky Productions. In addition he is preparing for his next role in the up coming film Guerillas, a film based on Che Guevara staring Benicio Del Torro.
