About EL

EL Lejano (he/him) is a Filipino-Canadian committed and driven actor, writer, and creator born in Mississauga, Ontario. In his youth, there was always a spark and passion for the performing arts and entertaining others. After seeing the success of former classmates and other artists within the GTA, a mantra of “Why not Me?” grew inside of him, so EL took the plunge and enrolled at The Toronto Film School. His passion and enthusiasm for the work continued to grow with the exploration of different classes and studies. EL has starred in a Silent film that he wrote and directed titled, “The Choice You Made,” a John Wick parody as a Stunt extra, as well as an international Filipino film titled “Maple Leaf Dreams” . From script work, to improvisation, to performing live Theatre, and work behind the camera, EL’s love for the entertainment industry became deeper than just hopes to become a successful Actor. EL aims to work within the entertainment industry as an actor, writer and potentially as a director as well. His dream is to one day work alongside many great Actors and Directors. Even though the journey has been more than challenging, EL aspires to use his success to help and inspire those around him and show them that with patience, determination, and heart, anyone can succeed in their dreams; and also ask themselves, “Why not me?”
