Rick Gomez

Gomez was born in Bayonne, New Jersey, as the first son in his family, on his father Rick Sr.'s birthday. In 1987, he relocated with his family to South Plainfield, New Jersey, where he attended school. After graduating from South Plainfield High School, Gomez moved to New York City to pursue an acting career.
After a minor role in the feature film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, he secured the recurring part of "Endless Mike," a quietly unhinged, melodramatic high school student in the surreal children's series The Adventures of Pete and Pete, which was filmed in New Jersey. His highly original performance was specifically praised by series creators Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi in the series' DVD audio commentary.
Gomez subsequently appeared in small roles in numerous TV series, telefilms, and feature films. (See Filmography, below). Additionally, he co-wrote and starred in the documentary-like feature — or possibly dramatized documentary — Last Man Running (unreleased; made 2003) with director Damon Santostefano. The film also starred his wife Jenifer Wymore-Gomez, his brother Joshua Gomez, and other New York City film professionals as themselves; it was screened at the Phoenix Film Festival and possibly elsewhere. Gomez had previously served as executive producer of A Waiter Tomorrow (1998), which was directed and co-written by Korean-American filmmaker Michael Kang (who appears as himself in Last Man Running).
Gomez is also an established voice actor with credits including the video game Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, the character Gippal in the English dub of Final Fantasy X-2, the character Zack in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, and a minor role as the voice of a pilot in The Animatrix. He recently had a cameo in Transformers, playing a Sheriff who attempts to apprehend the protagonist. He and his wife have two sons.
