Carlos Pena was raised in Weston, Florina, in a big family, by his father Carlos Pena, Sr. and his mother Margarita Pena. He was a student at Sagemont Upper School in Weston. Side by side with his education, he started earning money by doing performances in local musical productions such as “Grease”, and “Man of La Mancha”. He also starred in “Titanic”, a production by the American Heritage School. This had a huge influence in encouraging him to focus on an acting career, so he moved to Los Angeles in order to continue pursuing this goal.
When he was just 15 years old, his professional acting career began thanks to his first substantial appearance, in the TV drama series called “E.R” in the role of Arlo Escobar. Later, he had more guest-starring roles in other TV shows such as “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” (2004-2005) playing King Bee, “Judging Amy” (2005) in the role of Diego Valdesera, “Summerland” (2005) as Student, as well as appearing in a number of the Super Soaker television commercials for the water gun toy. Soon after, he had a role in the “Little Shop of Horrors” musical, which brought him a nomination for Lead Actor in a Musical.
In 2007, he became a competitor in the MTV reality series named “Making Menudo”.
While Pena was studying musical theater at the Boston Conservatory, his manager called him to audition for a new Disney TV show called “Big Time Rush”, on the channel Nickelodeon, created by Scott Fellows. At the audition Pena won the main role of Carlos Garcia, so he moved to Hollywood in the same year. This TV show focuses on the Hollywood misadventures of Logan, Kendall, Carlos and James, four hockey players from Minnesota, after they are selected to form a boy band with the same name – “Big Time Rush”, also known as “BTR”. This pop boy band signed a contract with Nick Records, and later with Columbia Record, and their first single was performed in the first episode of the show. The band has released three albums as of late 2015: “BTR”, “Elevate” and “24/Seven”.
In the same year, he released his first single in the Spanish language called “Electrico”. Later in 2015, he competed in the TV show “Dancing with the Stars” and finished in fourth place. He is also recognized as the host of the Nickelodeon game show called “Webheads”.
Carlos Pena has been married to Alexa Vega, a famous actress, since the 4th January 2014. The couple still has no children. One of Pena’s biggest passions and hobbies is scuba diving, so he is a certified rescue diver. He likes Taekwondo, too, and has a black belt.
