Personal Life
Laz was born in New York City in 1962. When he was a young man Laz moved out to Los Angeles with his mother to pursue an acting career. In 1994 Laz released a demo reel in which he played over 100 roles (60 male characters and 42 female characters) over 52 scenes in what would become known as Laz Rojas's One-Man Showcase[4]. The demo reel began circulating the underground VHS circuit and gained a cult fanbase as an oddity and testament to one man's devotion to film.
In May of 2016, as part of VICE Magazine's "Outsider" series, a half-hour mini-documentary was made about Laz and his devotion to producing one-man film productions[5]. In the documentary it was revealed that Laz's identity was stolen sometime around 2013 and he and his mother have been struggling with finances and housing since. In response to this a GoFundMe was launched to help provide support for Laz to find permanent housing[6].
