EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
A NEW YORK NATIVE, NELSON ESTEVEZ IS AN ACTOR, A MIXED MARTIAL ARTIST, AND ATHLETE WHO PUSHES BOUNDARIES AND ISN’T AFRAID OF A LITTLE SWEAT.
E
stevez’s career has evolved over the last decade. Beginning in New York City, his training at Terry Schreiber Studios provided him strong fundamental skills in theater. He’s become adept in slipping into the shoes of his characters and with empathy reliving their stories. Nelson considers both mental and physical training to be a key factor in preparing for a role. He trains to be an actor the same way athletes train to be in the Olympics, with conscious dedication and conditioning in all aspects of his life. As a mixed martial artist, Nelson also works on his own choreography for fight scenes.
