Augusto Aguilera Fócil is an Ecuadorian-American actor, best known for his roles in The Predator and Too Old To Die Young.

Life and career

[edit]

Aguilera grew up in Los Angeles, California, and began his serious acting career at the Actors Circle Theatre when he was twenty.[2] He eventually made the transition to acting on film which he found "strange" to begin with. "I've heard that theatre is an actor's medium, film a director's, TV a writer's. Initially, I believed collaboration only came in film and theatre. Now I know it's on the director...With theatre there are no safety nets. It's an emotional marathon." He joined the cast of Chasing Life and made an appearance in Snowfall.[1] In 2018, Aguilera co-starred in The Predator, opposite big-name stars such as Sterling K. Brown, Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key and Olivia Munn.[3] His character, Nettles, was described as the "heart" of the team. Aguilera stated that he would watch and roleplay the original Predator film.[4]
