After graduating from the University of Calgary theatre program, Juan began his professional acting career in Vancouver, BC. Juan's first booking resulted from winning a nationwide casting search for a recurring role on Bravo's series Godiva's. This led to appearances on various other television shows, including Smallville, Supernatural, Human Target, Fringe, Sanctuary, Blood Ties, The L-Word, Bionic Woman, and Psych.
Some of his film credits include Jennifer's Body, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Aliens vs. Predator, Hardwired, and Black Christmas. Juan also took home two Best Actor awards in Hollywood and Las Vegas film festivals for his lead role in the independent feature film entitled Zero Hour.
In 2008, Juan made his foray into the world of directing, and has since completed eleven short films. His debut film - Shark Out of Water - was nominated for four Leo Awards in 2008, and has screened at various film festivals internationally. He was in preproduction on a 35mm film funded by the Bravo!FACT foundation. Juan has a BA in English, a BSC in Biology and a minor in Drama and speaks both Spanish and German fluently.
