Hailing from San Diego, CA, Joseph Lucero made his acting debut in Gridiron Gang, the inspirational 2006 film based on the true story of the Camp Kilpatrick Mustangs. Since 2018 he has starred as a series regular in FX series Mayans M.C. as "Neron 'Creeper' Vargas" and will be seen in the upcoming fifth and final season. Other recent television credits include a recurring role on Hulu's limited series Welcome to Chippendales and appearances in Blue Bloods, FBI, S.W.A.T. and Shameless.
Off screen, Lucero is living proof that change is possible, one day at a time, as an advocate for the rehabilitation of gang members and the formerly incarcerated in Southern California. He was honored with the "Homeboy Hero" Award at Homeboy Industries' 2022 Lo Máximo Awards for courageously forging new pathways and for dedicating his life to giving back to his community.
