CARLOS NAVARRO'S BIO:

Carlos Navarro’s 22-year entertainment career spans the media spectrum, from radio, television, and film to commercials, video games, and stand-up comedy. His rise in acting is reflected in his roles on some of entertainment’s biggest cultural phenomena, including 'Bloodline,' 'The Walking Dead,' (one of the most-watched cable TV series in history) 'Red Dead Redemption II,' 'Madden NFL 20,' ‘The Outsider,’ ‘Identity Thief,’ ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,’ and Marvel's 'Hawkeye' miniseries on Disney+, where he played the villainous role of Enrique in the Tracksuit Mafia. Carlos is one of only a few Latino actors to cross both the “The Walking Dead” and Marvel comic book movie franchises.

Carlos is also a co-host of the #1-rated Orlando talk show “Monsters in the Morning” on iHeartRadio’s Real Radio 104.1 (he started at Real Radio at age 17), where he entertains a local and national audience for FIVE HOURS a day LIVE. “Monsters in the Morning” is also the #1 podcast in Florida and #35 podcast in the country on iHeartRadio. In 2022, Carlos and the entire hosting team at the “Monsters in the Morning” were named to TALKERS magazine’s list of the “100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America”.

Carlos has served on a Little League board (his daughter plays softball), and the board of the nonprofit Collaborative Corner for Exceptional Children, whose mission is to support children and their families, both in and outside the classroom. He also volunteers at multiple charities every year in the Orlando metro area, including the Mustard Seed of Central Florida, a nonprofit furniture and clothing bank that helps rebuild the lives of families and individuals who have suffered disaster or personal tragedy.

Carlos' latest project is happening on a new stage — as a personal development mentor, coach, and speaker, where he helps others learn to dig deep, strive for the top, and realize their passions.

Carlos is a family man with a beautiful wife and two daughters who are his inspiration in every endeavor he pursues.
