from How To LA · host LAist Studios

#103: Rafael Agustín wears a whole lotta hats in Hollywood.He's the CEO of the Latino Film Institute and oversees the Youth Cinema Project. He writes for TV and wrote a memoir, Illegally Yours, about growing up in L.A. and learning as a teenager that he was undocumented. Rafael got into theater at community college and then UCLA, where he wrote a play with his friends that toured the U.S. Then he hit the big time: he landed a job on a sitcom, Jane the Virgin. We talked to him about the writer's strike a few weeks ago (ep. 97) but he's got such an interesting story about how he got started in the biz, we had to bring him back. How I Got Started is a regular segment on this podcast where we feature different Angelenos who are shaking things up and doing cool things in the city.
