Ramos got his first big break playing the dual roles of John Laurens/Philip Hamilton alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda in Hamilton, and has subsequently spent the last half-decade playing memorable parts in major projects, including Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee's original role) in the Netflix She's Gotta Have It series, a supporting role in Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born, and his current role alongside Uzo Aduba in HBO's In Treatment.
Ramos landed his first lead role with In The Heights, and leading a movie feels like a spot he won't relinquish any time soon. Jon M, Chu compared him to Will Smith, and he'll next be taking on some big projects: a space movie called Distant and the next Transformers film, currently filming in Canada.
