A Texas native and first-generation Filipino American, Dino-Ray worked as film and TV reporter for over 15 years, having worked for the Oakland Tribune and San Francisco Chronicle before moving to sunny, earthquake-fearing Los Angeles. Prior to Deadline, he was the chief film critic at the Tracking Board and has written for numerous publications including Vogue, Entertainment Tonight, Bustle, Paste Magazine and Queerty. He likes to call out Hollywood when they are being trash and believes is rising up and reaching back when it comes to helping all marginalized communities.

He is an active runner, active eater of carbs, a pescatarian, a cannabis advocate, believer in the Oxford comma and a member of a RuPaul’s Drag Race fantasy league. He listens to nothing but ‘90s hip hop and R&B, watches 30 Rock and The Office on repeat, is a level 2 nerd, and thinks that The Goonies is the greatest movie of all time. Overall, he has many popular opinions as he does unpopular ones and he can spill all of it when it’s necessary.
