John Rosario
John Rosario—yeah, Brooklyn born and raised—brings a certain gritty, no-nonsense energy to everything he touches, whether you’ve seen him in indie gems or under-the-radar dramas. This guy’s been popping up in some seriously thought-provoking projects lately. In “Bob Trevino Likes It” (2024), he dives deep into the messiness of human relationships, all those awkward silences and sideways glances that say more than a hundred words ever could. It’s not your average feel-good flick—think more raw, a little uncomfortable at times, and honestly, that’s what makes it stick with you.
Go back a bit, and there he is in “A Lot of Nothing” (2022). If you want a movie that messes with your head and doesn’t hand you neat answers, that’s the one. Rosario’s performance? Sharp, real, like he’s not even acting. These characters get tangled up in social issues and personal secrets, and John’s got this way of making you feel every little bit, all the tension simmering just below the surface.
And don’t forget “Son of the South” (2020). That one’s got civil rights era drama, big themes, bigger risks. Rosario shows up with that signature intensity—doesn’t matter if he’s in a leading role or popping in for a crucial scene, you remember him. He isn’t just a background guy; he’s the type who sneaks up on you, leaves an impression, and makes you want to hunt down the rest of his work. Brooklyn roots, serious chops, and a knack for picking projects that actually mean something.
