Rodrigo Rojas was born and raised in Albany, New York to an actor and playwright-father and a political advocate and educator mother. His family played a significant role in introducing Rodrigo to film at an early age. They fostered his love for movies by frequenting the local cinema and drive-ins.

Rojas credits New York for inciting his passion, and Los Angeles for providing the foundation to hone his craft. Smaller television roles, commercial work, and print have led him to his more notable appearances, such as a recurring role on "Modern Family," "Casual," and "The Last Ship" and a lead role in the Hallmark film, "The Big Grab." Rodrigo can also be seen in the crime thrillers "Instapsycho," and "Silk Road" alongside Jason Clark.
