His talent was first recognized in the U.S. with his remarkable performance in “The Following” more than a decade ago.

Born in Mexico City, Adan Canto began his acting career with appearances in various commercials. He then made his mark on the Mexican show “Estado de Gracia.” However, his ambitions reached beyond acting alone. In 2013, he established his production company, Canto House Pictures. Through this venture, he ventured into directing with his short film “Before Tomorrow” as his debut project.

His second project, “The Shot,” achieved immense recognition, grabbing the attention of critics and audiences alike. The film was nominated for three awards and triumphed by winning two.
