Having grown up on a street called Happy Glen Loop in Manila Philippines, and as the middle child and only boy, Atticus kept himself occupied with a lot of American television, which helped shape the majority of his imagination. He and his sisters Jeanne and Janice would often pass the time by reenacting scenes from Jim Henson's Sesame Street and other children's shows made available in Manila, like The Electric Company and Villa Alegre.He attended private Catholic schools through the 5th grade, where he went by the name of Charles as most of his teachers could not pronounce Atticus, correctly, and some of his schoolmates teased him over his first name. During much turmoil within the Philippines in 1985, Atticus, his mother and sisters made the huge move to the U.S. to find a better life. Atticus entered his first academic class in the U.S. as a sixth grader at Patterson Elementary School in Fremont California. His teacher, Claire Mahuna, insisted that Atticus reconsider being addressed by his first name as opposed to "Charles."Atticus did a lot of growing up in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area and had moved countless times within the cities of Fremont, Union City, San Leandro and Newark. In high school, Atticus found a love for acting in his drama class and soon found himself performing in front of an audience, slowly falling deeper and deeper in love with acting. A few years later, he reignited his acting by performing in the summer theater programs at Cal State East Bay; Broadway by the Bay; then later joining up with the American Musical Theater Artist Institute (AMTAI) in San Jose, California. It was at AMTAI where Atticus became more focused as a performer. AMTAI's founder and executive director, Marc Jacobs, gave him the motivation to pursue acting as a possible career.Atticus moved to Los Angeles in 2002, shortly after being married. He served as a performer and assistant choreographer for the Knightsbridge Theater in Silverlake, CA, then danced with the Meh-Tropolis Dance Theater in LA. In 2006, Atticus' son, Brady Charles "Smokey" was born.It wasn't until after his first marriage had ended in 2009, that his acting career took a bigger leap. He launched into voice and commercial acting, then took a lead role in a series of commercials geared towards the Asian market, reprising his role as a forgetful husband. He has also lent his voice for a series of McDonald's ads, while narrating in his native language of Tagalog. In 2016, he landed his first role on American TV as a paramedic on the award winning Amazon series, Transparent.After eloping with the love of his life, Louise Larson, in Big Sur, California, he landed two more roles; one on CBS's 2 Broke Girls, then another on ABC's Speechless.Atticus is known for the hashtag #dreamsillydreambig - a saying which Atticus attributes to one of the many lessons his dad Ariel had taught him when he was younger, as well as what he tells his son, Smokey, every time - No matter how silly your dream may be, if you really want it and it's big enough...
