Freddy Rodriguez has quickly emerged as one of Hollywood's most versatile young actors, garnering an Emmy nomination, two Alma Awards, a Nosotros Award and two SAG Awards for his role on "Six Feet Under" as the artful and ambitious mortician, Federico Diaz.

Currently, Rodriguez is working on the Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino project Grind House, and has just wrapped Bobby, a feature film written and directed by Emilio Estevez. Other notable film credits include Poseidon, Harsh Times, Dreamer, Havoc, A Walk in the Clouds, Dead Presidents, The Pest, Chasing Papi, Payback, and For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story.

Born and raised in Chicago, Rodriguez began acting in his teens. He received a two-year scholarship to the summer arts program at Chicago Center for the Gifted and went on to star in more than 20 theater productions in his home town. Between acting projects he enjoys helping a variety of organizations dedicated to keeping the arts in public schools.
