Jared Valdez

Jared Valdez - Background Actor Based in Chicago, IL, I am currently an Accounting Advisor at a Big 4 accounting firm while pursuing opportunities as a background actor. Born and raised in Bartlett, IL, I grew up playing sports and was a dedicated basketball player throughout high school. I also have theatre experience from 5th to 7th grade, which first sparked my interest in performing. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance, as well as an MBA, from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. Additionally, I became a licensed CPA in 2020. As a proud Chicagoan, I’m excited to contribute to productions filming in the city and bring authenticity to every scene I’m part of. Looking forward to being part of Chicago’s thriving film and television community! LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valdezjared/
