Meet Camila Ruhl

We had the good fortune of connecting with Camila Ruhl and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Camila, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I moved to LA from Buenos Aires, Argentina, about 7 years ago. When I made that decision, it was because I wanted to pursue my dream of acting. Since I was starting over, I thought, “I’m in the right city, so why not?”

It’s been my dream since I was a little girl, and I believe I came into this life to be happy.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Okay, so first, I feel like I’m all over the place! Since I was very little, I’ve been a believer that anything you want in this world, you can have—as long as you go for it and don’t give up. I have a very positive mindset that everything will happen, and I enjoy the journey. I’m a lover of life, and I believe energy is everything.

I have so many dreams to accomplish, and the fact that I’ve already made some of them come true blows my mind. I come from Buenos Aires, and now I’m making movies with big names like Vivica A. Fox, acting in music videos with Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg, being chosen as the Latino voice of Sha’Carri Richardson in a Powerade commercial, and this year, finally hosting my own show—something I’ve dreamed of for a long time. I’m very proud of all of that.

When you decide to embrace an artistic career, it’s not easy—haha! Mostly because the investment at the beginning is huge and it’s expensive. But when you get to do what you love and get paid for it, it’s worth every cent. I’ve learned that nothing is impossible. And if it seems like things are getting harder, life and the universe are just testing how much you want it. When you relax, start enjoying the journey, and practice gratitude, life and the universe begin to play on your side.

Nothing comes easy. So if you’re the kind of person who gives up quickly, don’t go for an artistic career.

I want to share my story—and the stories of others who decided to take action, with fear or not, and took the chance to do what they love—so people can see it’s possible. That’s why I created my podcast Dreams Come True.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I actually have friends and family visiting quite often, so our itinerary is usually the same—because there are just some spots you can’t miss!

Day 1:
We always start in Hollywood, walking the Walk of Fame. Then I take them to a Mexican restaurant so they can try tacos and margaritas. We usually visit the wax museum, hop on the tour bus that shows celebrity homes, and maybe catch a show at night.

Day 2:
We spend the whole day at Disneyland and California Adventure! It’s a must. We eat the giant turkey leg, the Mickey-shaped ice cream, ride the Incredicoaster, and try to get on as many attractions as possible—until the fireworks at night, of course.

Day 3:
Time to relax a bit! I take them to the beach. There’s this spot in Topanga called Café 75, and it’s like a treehouse—super cool for breakfast. Then we grab some snacks and head to Malibu to chill by the beach.

Day 4:
Universal Studios day! We can’t miss the Simpson’s donut, a Duff beer at Moe’s Tavern, and a Krusty Burger. (Can you tell Argentinians are huge Simpsons fans? 😂)
Must-do rides: Jurassic Park, The Mummy, the studio tour bus, and Transformers. After a full day, straight to bed!

Day 5:
We visit the other side of the beach—Venice and Santa Monica. We explore the pier and all the classic tourist spots. And eat at one place that has really good lobster roll and grab a drink at the Misfit, a really cool bar in Santa Monica.

Day 6:
Shopping day! I take them to the Camarillo outlets for some great deals, walk all day so probably an Iced coffee from Starbucks would be the most convenient option.

Day 7:
On the last day, we head downtown. I love taking them to a rooftop—there’s one called Elevate (I’m terrible with names, haha). Then we wrap it up with some Asian cuisine, usually Thai, which is one of my favorites.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Uff… my acting mentor, Brian Cutler — I learned so much from his class. He’s 80 years old and has been acting since he was five! We worked on camera in every class, and everything I’ve learned about being on set — everything I’ve been complimented for — is thanks to him.

I also want to thank Mariano Chiesa, a very famous and respected voice-over artist. I couldn’t ask for a better mentor. Thanks to both of them, I’ve booked acting work and always feel prepared.

Last but not least, I want to thank my longtime English teacher in Argentina, Monica Yañez. The reason my English is “good” and that I was able to manage it quickly here is because of the strong foundation she gave me.
