Wilmer Valderrama
Actor/Producer/Activist/Author
Actor, producer, activist, and author Wilmer Valderrama has been making audiences laugh, listen, and think for over two decades.
Valderrama currently stars in the #1 TV drama NCIS on CBS, and most recently announced his debut memoir, American Story: Everyone’s Invited, set to release September 17, 2024, which encapsulates his humble beginnings, journey to the United States as a young immigrant and how he forged a successful career.
He is also developing a live action “Zorro” series at Disney Branded Television in which he will star and executive produce. On the big screen, he lent his voice to the Academy Award-winning Disney animated film Encanto, which became a cultural phenomenon. Behind the camera, in 2006, Wilmer established his production company, WV Entertainment, where he continues to develop and produce projects in the alternative and scripted spaces.
Valderrama is active in several philanthropic agencies. He’s the co-founder of Harness, a group dedicated to connecting communities through conversation to inspire action, serves on the board of Voto Latino, and sits on the National Hispanic Media Coalition’s (NHMC) Visionary Alliance, which aims to foster opportunities for Latinx talent in the entertainment industry through the Series Scriptwriters program and the Latinx Stream Showcase. Wilmer is also deeply involved with the military community, serving as a USO Global Ambassador, and participating in various shows worldwide.
Born in Miami and raised in Venezuela until the age of thirteen, Valderrama is fluent in Spanish and English.
