Raúl Castillo (born August 30, 1977) is an American stage and film actor and playwright, known for his roles in Amexicano, Cold Weather, and for his role as Richie Donado Ventura in the HBO series Looking.
Castillo was born to father Raúl H. Castillo, Sr. and mother Adela "Adelita" Rodriguez de Castillo. He has an older brother, Tony, and a younger sister. His parents are Mexican immigrants from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, who later moved to McAllen, Texas, where he and his siblings were raised. Living so close to the U.S.-Mexican border, Castillo's family would often visit family members who still lived in Reynosa, affording him an upbringing that he describes as "very much bicultural". He was raised Catholic. His childhood nickname was "Gordo" ("fat", in Spanish), due to being chubby.
He first became interested in acting in the third grade, after seeing his older brother in a school production of The Wizard of Oz as the Tin Woodman. He auditioned the next year for the school play "about a mouse and a clock", but couldn't stop giggling during his audition and was cast in a non-speaking role as a guard. While in 6th grade at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School, he met and befriended future Mutemath bass guitarist Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas. With their friends Nick Trevino and Robert Vleck, they started underground punk-rock band IPM (short for "Influential Phecal Material") in high school. Mitchell-Cárdenas played drums while Castillo played bass guitar. Before he became involved in acting, he thought he would pursue a career as a rock musician.
