Hey! I’m Erica Lynn Castillo – actor, writer, dog mom; born and raised on the South Side of Chicago. I’m currently bicoastal between Los Angeles and Chicago.
I started my theatrical training at Columbia College Chicago, before transferring to Loyola Marymount University, where I completed my BFA in theater. I have written and directed original plays, in addition to acting in various commercials, short films, and features. I have a heavy comedy background with stand-up and improvisational skills. I thrive in front of the camera and honestly love inhabiting characters and exploring text. I’ve also worked in other aspects of film production, including line production, content creation, and social media branding.
I wouldn’t be a true Chicagoan if I also didn’t share my love of food with you. Check below for some of my absolute favorite restaurants in Chicago and LA. #BiCoastalFoodie <3
