Carlos Valenzuela
as "James Bishop"
Carlos (Michael Hagene) Valenzuela started his acting career
in March 2004 by getting small roles and a few leads in theater plays
in Illinois. In 2007, Carlos got himself involved with
“Live Street Theater” for the Greater St. Louis Renaissance
Festival. From there, his acting career moved into films. From 2007-08
he did 14 films, including some feature films, as an extra. Feature
films include “Kingshighway” starring Eric Roberts,
“The Lucky Ones” starring Tim Robbins and Rachel McAdams,
and “Edgar Allan Poe’s Ligea” starring Wes Bentley.
That year he landed his first speaking role in a feature film,
“Jealousy,” which premiered at the Tivoli Theater on Jan.

In 2009, not only did Carlos land his best role yet for the movie
“The Devil at Lost Creek,” he moved up in the feature film
industry by landing a stand-in role in the Oscar®-nominated movie
“Up in the Air” starring George Clooney. He has talent
agents in Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago.
Carlos grew up in Illinois and has earned an associate’s degree
in Computer Aid Technology. He worked in St. Louis for an engineering
firm as an electrical drafter for more than 5 years. He thanks
his family and friends, but most importantly, a special thanks to Trish
Meyer, Ina Martinez and Ryan Converse.
