EXCLUSIVE: UTA has signed Grammy Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated actor, singer, and songwriter Anthony Ramos for representation in all areas.
Ramos’ career spans film, TV, theater, and music. Early in his career, he starred as Justin Laboy in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s short musical 21 Chump Street, a one-time performance recorded for the weekly radio program This American Life that paved the way for him to originate the dual roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in the Broadway hit Hamilton—for which Ramos received a Grammy Award and a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for the Disney+ live stage recording.
His body of work has since grown to include starring roles in the feature film adaptation of In the Heights, as Usnavi, which earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination, as well as major studio blockbusters such as Twisters, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and A Star Is Born, starring opposite Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Most recently, Ramos starred in Netflix’s Kathryn Bigelow thriller A House of Dynamite.

Additionally, he provided voice-over work as Mr. Piranha in DreamWorks Animation’s The Bad Guys and its sequel, The Bad Guys 2, which landed him a Black Reel Award nomination. He is also set to star in the lead role in an upcoming Bob the Builder live-action film, which he’s producing alongside Mattel, Jennifer Lopez’s Nuyorican Productions, and ShadowMachine.
On the TV front, Ramos most recently was a series regular on Ryan Murphy’s FX TV series The Beauty. Additionally, he starred as Mars Blackmon in Spike Lee’s Netflix comedy-drama series She’s Gotta Have It and was cast as Parker Robbins in the streaming series Ironheart, set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As a musician, Ramos recently released his new single “New York City,” the first record from his upcoming English-language salsa album produced by Sergio George. Promotion for the record recently included a performance on NBC’s The Tonight Show, and he was named King of the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City, which took place last month.
Ramos was previously with CAA.
He continues to be represented by Range Media Partners and Paul Hastings, LLP.
