Kelvin Miranda

Miranda was born on 8 January 1999, in Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines. He attended Caloocan High School where he showed signs of becoming a future actor through his participations in school events. He was also looked up to by his schoolmates for his talents in singing, dancing, playing music instruments, and writing poems.[2]

In 2017, Miranda auditioned and passed the initial screenings of Star Magic, the training and management subsidiary of ABS-CBN, but was later dropped by the management due to absences.[3] His absences were a result of him being an introvert which made it hard for him to try his luck in the entertainment industry, an idea of his sister.[4] However, in June of the same year, with the help of his manager, he signed a deal with GMA Artist Center, the talent agency of GMA Network.

After a series of bit playing roles, in 2019, Miranda had his breakthrough role in the film Dead Kids, the first-ever Netflix film from the Philippines, as Mark Santa Maria, a withdrawn teen known to classmates as a "dead kid" — a wallflower and wet blanket; the brainiest yet the poorest in school.[5] The film received positive reviews from critics [6][7] and Miranda was praised for his lead performance.[8]
