Biography
Isaias Badilla is an actor and filmmaker. Born and raised in Costa Rica, Isaias grew up surrounded by the magic of cinema, thanks to his two older brothers who instilled in him a deep appreciation for the art form. After 5 years of classical music training, his journey took an exciting turn when he joined the Taller Nacional de Teatro in Costa Rica. In 2018, Isaias made a bold move, crossing borders to pursue his dreams in the United States. He completed his senior year and embarked on a transformative experience at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts NY in 2019. Isaias’ talent shines on both the big screen and the stage. He has already made his mark in the film industry, starring in a Costa Rican feature film and several captivating short films. Notably, he starred in the short film “Ñaños,” which received official selection at the 2022 Tribeca Festival. His New York Theater credits have demonstrated his versatility in roles such as Jonathan Baransky in the Off-Broadway revival of “Dream On, Baransky” (American Theatre of Actors), Sebastian in “Danse Macabre” (Teatro LATEA), Aisymnetes in “Raving Reason” (La Guardia Performing Arts Center), Alfonso LeChien in “The Gnarly Narwhal” (The Tank), Miguel in “The Window Washer” (Emerging Artists), and even the multifaceted Marcellus/Guildenstern/Osric in “Hamlet” (American Theatre of Actors). In 2024, Isaias and his brothers took their passion to the next level by founding Purple Duck LLC. This independent film production company seeks to explore and challenge the boundaries of cinema through the power of creativity and storytelling.
