Valley Park

Invicta

Maidstone Grammar School for Boys and Girls

Rose Bruford College of Performing Arts

RICARDO FREITAS - 29 LONDON - Actor

My passion is for Character acting, especially characters that can strike a chord with an audience. I see Movies and television as one of the most sincere forms of self expression, In my work I maintain the motto of “ telling a lie in order to tell the truth ” If an audience member can identify or relate to my character in any way wether it be somber or uplifting, that true moment of emotion is what I aim for in every one of my performances.

I am a passionate and driven actor, always looking for new opportunities to expand my skills and showreel, I was intrigued by your opportunity to work on your project and I look forward to hearing from you. Ricardo Freitas
