Kelvin Miranda


Kelvin Miranda is a Filipino film and television actor and model, best known for his role as Mark Santa Maria in the Netflix film Dead Kids and in various bit playing roles in different television programs.

Early life

Miranda was born on 8 January 1999, in Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines. He attended Caloocan High School where he showed signs of becoming a future actor through his participations in school events. He was also looked up to by his schoolmates for his talents in singing, dancing, playing music instruments, and writing poems.

Career

In 2017, Miranda auditioned and passed the initial screenings of Star Magic, the training and management subsidiary of ABS-CBN, but was later dropped by the management due to absences. His absences were a result of him being an introvert which made it hard for him to try his luck in the entertainment industry, an idea of his sister. However, in June of the same year, with the help of his manager, he signed a deal with GMA Artist Center, the talent agency of GMA Network.
After a series of bit playing roles, in 2019, Miranda had his breakthrough role in the film Dead Kids, the first-ever Netflix film from the Philippines, as Mark Santa Maria, a withdrawn teen known to classmates as a "dead kid" — a wallflower and wet blanket; the brainiest yet the poorest in school. Not only that the film itself received positive reviews from critics, but also Miranda having praised for his acting chops.
