Born and raised in San Francisco, CA. Roger's first three combined acting, directing, producing & writing efforts make up his AmerAsian Films Trilogy- Not So Young (2013), Great American Dream (2013) & Young Again (2018). The features are closely based upon a series of adverse personal relationships revolving around his immensely challenging baseball journey through college and beyond.Back in his playing days, Roger pitched nationally recognized Lowell High to their first-ever playoff victory at Candlestick Park as an All-City junior, but was then forced to overcome a serious career-threatening rotator cuff injury as a senior. After extensive rehab, he walked on to the Dons' outfield at the University of San Francisco as a freshman, a squad from which 10 of his teammates went on to sign professionally. Frustrated with a lack of playing time, he transferred over to Cal State East Bay to start in left field, finishing as the Pioneers' second leading hitter.After a major disagreement with his head coach, he ultimately relinquished his most crucial year of eligibility and returned to USF to earn his B.A. in Psychology. Nonetheless, his stints at catcher and third base for various college and semi-pro teams around California garnered tryouts and attention from Philadelphia Phillie, Seattle Mariner, and Major League Scouting Bureau camps. Roger ultimately settled in Los Angeles and enrolled in commercial acting classes, only to find himself gearing up behind the plate again- this time catching Hideo Nomo in an international Nike campaign.Later that year, Roger's initial inspiration to direct behind the lens was sparked while standing-in for Jackie Chan on the Brett Ratner film Rush Hour 2 (2001). On set, he studied the pair's tireless energy toward achieving finely detailed perfection. About the same time, his greatest inspiration to work dramatically in front of the lens came when Cameron Crowe cast him in Vanilla Sky (2001) in a scene opposite Tom Cruise and Kurt Russell. Although Roger didn't survive the final cut of his debut film role, he soon landed a part opposite Jennifer Garner in Alias (2001), his debut television role.For 2014, Roger is set to appear in 4 feature film releases with supporting roles in Asylum's Asian School Girls (2014) and the 'Henry Jaglom (I)' comedy The M Word (2014), in addition to lead roles in each of the first two chapters of his dramatic Trilogy.In between television & film, Roger continues to work in commercials, PSA's, and print ads, having appeared in over 150 campaigns thus far. He is also developing his most ambitious project to date- a passionate survival drama revolving around love & mortality. Show less «
