After five years (since 2018), the newly branded Filipino Hollywood Actors Panel (formerly FAC Actor's Panel) returns to where is debuted - at FilAm Creative.

Founded and produced by a returning Edwin A. Santos (2015 - 2018; 2023 - present), the Filipino Hollywood Actors Panel is a panel discussion and networking event featuring special guest panelists representing the craft and business of acting across the board while shining a spotlight on North American Filipino talent in Hollywood today.

In 2019, Edwin joined the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Hollywood (FACC-Hollywood) and became one of its original founders and a Board of Director. He produced four Filipino Hollywood Actors Panels from 2019 to 2022.

• The live in-person 6th edition with Rodney To, Jason Rogel, Joy Regullano and JB Tadena held at the Secret Rose Theater in North Hollywood, California.
• The virtual 7th edition with Amanda Joy, Alain Uy, Tamlyn Tomita.
• The virtual 8th edition with Deedee Magno Hall, Earl Baylon and Lou Ticzon.
• The virtual 9th edition with Martha Millan, Melody Butiu and Carolyn Fe.

FilAm Creative will present the 10th edition of the Filipino Hollywood Actors Panel as it returns live in-person on Saturday, June 24, 2024 from 2pm to 6pm at the Clubhouse in East Hollywood/Los Feliz, CA. More information to be revealed.

I performed at Filipinx Actors Barkada's first in-person live variety show, "Barkada FABaret" on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at the Roguelike Tavern in Burbank, California. It was comprised with actors, singers, comedians and more. 

This was my third show with FAB since "Pinoy Joy!" and "Halo Halo-ween" - both shows (along with "A Night of Joy!") were presented virtually.

The last time I performed in front of a live audience was in two sketches written by Jonathan Grant, and with performers Andy Wagner, Brian Rubinow, Michael M. Soldati, Jodi Jett, Kerry Michelle Smith, Steve Saunders, Erica Fortes, Kimberly Truong and Chelsea St. James of the Polyphilos Trismegistos team at "Smut's Dirty Little Secret" show at UCB Sunset in 2015.
