Francisco
Carrillo, is a born and raised New York City native. His passion for acting
first started in high school when he had been part of his first musical, after
that experience the rest was history. He joined small theatre groups outside of
school to satisfy his thirst of story telling and during that time he heard
about Brooklyn College and it’s BFA Acting program. Francisco has now completed
his second year in the BFA program and is now going into his senior year. He is
eternally grateful to the department and their encouraging efforts to helping
students in their craft, especially Rose Bonczek, “she is someone that reminds
us all to celebrate our uniqueness and individuality, and as a human being, it
makes me so happy to hear that.”

Gi60 US/UK Collaboration Award Recipients 2016: Meet Henry Nwaru
Henry Nwaru is an actor that
hails from New Rochelle, New York in Westchester county. Henry had always had a
passion for being an entertainer, but acting is where he feels most at home.
His first play was at a sleep away camp during elementary school years, and
from there he was hooked. He studied theater throughout middle school and high
school, having been in several of his schools productions. Once he was admitted
to Brooklyn College, he tried studying engineering while only acting outside of
school. His appetite to act was not satisfied, so he decided to pursue acting
in school. Henry has now completed his first year in the BFA-Acting program. He
is committed to grasping everything that the program has to offer, and learning
from many different sources to create his own personal acting style.
