Diego Stredel (born 1993) is a Venezuelan/Canadian actor. He was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela where he spent the majority of his childhood. At a very early age, his Venezuelan mom told him that if he didn't learn to dance he was never going to get a girlfriend. So he learned to dance salsa and merengue immediately. At 11 years old he took part in a dance performance where he was a lead interpreting the choreography to the hit song "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" by the Backstreet Boys. He loved it so much that he decided he was going to pursue a career in performance. At 13 years old Diego moved to Calgary, Canada with his mom to pursue a better future. He signed up for acting classes as soon as he could and his love for acting became a full-time passion. When he graduated High School he applied to the Performance program at Mount Royal University. He trained there for two years after moving on to a professional career in the Calgary theatre scene. He then went on to pursue a Bachelor's Degree at the University of Alberta. He is now based in Vancouver where he works in film, TV, and motion capture.
