Salvador Esparza Actor
Salvador Esparza Jr. is a Mexican-American actor and theatre producer based in Helsinki, with over 20 years of experience across stage, screen, and voice. A first-generation American of Mexican heritage, he has called Finland home for a decade — bringing an authentically bicultural perspective to an industry hungry for it.
Recent screen credits include Ivalo Season 4 (Yellow Film & TV, 2025) and an upcoming role in Just Play Dead, directed by Martin Campbell and starring Samuel L. Jackson and Eva Green. A member of the Finnish Actors' Union and represented by Aura Actors, he is committed to building a long-term career within the Nordic and Baltic screen industries.
As a voice artist, he originated the role of Red for Rovio Entertainment's Angry Birds brand (2022–2024). He is also the Founder and Managing Director of Salvation Talent, producing English-language theatre in Helsinki.
