Life and career edit
Feliz was born in the Bronx to a single mother. He is of Dominican descent. His mother moved him to Florida, where he reportedly attended eight different schools while still in elementary school. "[W]e moved to Florida because she hated the cold and didn't want me to grow up in an environment like that. We didn't end up in an amazing place in Florida, but it was better than the Bronx in New York at that time... And because of her, I had a very good childhood." After his mother remarried, they moved to Los Angeles and he attended Santa Monica High School where he majored in Drama due to gaining an interest in it.[1] He and his team were finalists in the 2016 August Wilson Monologue Competition and The Music Center's Spotlight Program where he gained recognition.[2][3]
Feliz performed a monologue from the play Two Trains Running.[4]
In 2017, Feliz landed the role of Alex Wilder in Marvel's Runaways.[5] He made a guest appearance on Kevin (Probably) Saves the World as Marc, "a young man who has left home in search of adventure".[6]
In 2021, Feliz voiced the character of Camilo Madrigal in Disney's computer-animated feature film Encanto.[7]
In 2023, Feliz was cast as Victor Aguilar, a troubled youth, in The Batman spin-off The Penguin for HBO Max starring Colin Farrell.[8]
