¡Hola! Mi nombre es José Ruiz-González y soy 100% bilingüe. I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX, but my familia and roots are from México.

I am an actor, singer, writer and aspiring director currently based in New York City. I’ve always had a passion for telling stories, whether it be my brother and I creating narratives with our Legos, or writing full length plays and films.

In May of 2023, I graduated from Texas Christian University with a BFA in Musical Theatre. It was an amazing four years, filled with all the friendship and creativity I could have ever asked for. I’ll always deeply value the education and connections I earned during my time at TCU.

In the months following graduation, I moved to New York City to pursue my lifelong dream of acting. I’ve had an amazing time in the city so far reconnecting with peers, meeting new collaborators, and enjoying the endless opportunities that being in such a rich cultural center allows.

When I’m not acting, you’ll likely find me working at the Nintendo Store at Rockefeller Center (I’m a huge Mario fan!), finding the best dive restaurants with my girlfriend, Belleza, or pioneering creativity at Outpost Purple

I’ve been acting in theatre since I was 7 years old, and since then performing has been one of my all-time passions. With every line I say, every note I sing, and every step I take, when I perform, I am filled with happiness and love.

TV/Film acting is one of my biggest passions, and I always had a blast working on student films with the Student Filmmakers Association at TCU Now that I’m in New York, I’ve gotten several opportunities to star in short films, and each one has been an honor.

Aside from performing, one of my biggest dreams is to become a film director. Whether it’s in front of the camera, behind it, or on the stage, I want to tell stories for the rest of my life. So, let’s do that together!

In July of 2023, I joined forces with Outpost Purple to serve as its Creative Director. We’re a growing collective of multi-disciplinary artists, dedicated to discovering new forms of creativity amidst emerging technologies like AI, VR/AR, and Blockchain. My role there has been a thrilling fusion of art, technology, and community. Crafting immersive narratives, shaping our collective's creative vision, and working with a team of dreamers and innovators at OP brings me a profound sense of fulfillment.
