Biography
David Castro is an American actor born February 7, 1996. He's best known for playing Raphael Santiago, the vampire strategist on Freeform's Shadowhunters—a fantasy series that ran for three seasons and cultivated a passionate online following. Castro's portrayal made Raphael one of the show's most compelling morally gray characters, balancing cold pragmatism with hidden vulnerability. As an actor, Castro participates in the broader ecosystem of scripted television performance—audition, rehearsal, on-set shooting, and promotional work. Born under Aquarius, Castro's astrological profile suggests an affinity for unconventional storytelling and ensemble dynamics, traits that align with his role in an ensemble-driven fantasy adaptation. The American entertainment industry has historically centered actors in Los Angeles and New York production hubs, though Shadowhunters was shot in Toronto, reflecting the mid-2010s shift toward Canadian tax incentives in streaming drama production.
