"The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths to it are not found but made, and the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination."
BIOGRAPHY
My name is Rio Rasch, and I am a American/German actor and Graphic Designer based in Los Angeles. My love for acting and performing began at a very young age. I was born to two wonderful German-American parents in the dusty desert of southern New Mexico, took my first wobbly steps in the cool, rolling hills of upstate New York, spoke my first words in an old farmhouse in the heart of Germany, and spent the rest of my childhood and teenage years living in eco-communities and farms outside Philadelphia. I studied graphic design in Berlin for three years and am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting at the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles. While living in Berlin, I had the opportunity to work in commercial modeling and acting and remain represented by Fangfrisch and Facelent agencies. Now based in LA, I’m actively building my network and collaborating on various short films, photography projects, and theatrical productions. I’m a highly active, positive, and creative individual with a lifelong passion for performance. Since the age of six, I’ve been involved in numerous plays, musicals, and choirs. I have some informal dance training, play the guitar, and sing. I’m constantly inspired by nature, music, architecture, dance, cooking, and extraordinary art.
