Early life and education

Perdomo was born in Los Angeles, California and moved to Southampton in the county of Hampshire, England with his mother as a child. He holds both British and American citizenship. He attended Redbridge Community School in Southampton before going to Peter Symonds College in Winchester,[3] where he was elected president of the sixth form's student union. [4] He intended to study Law after graduating but decided to pursue acting instead, moving, with money he made working in a shoe shop and at a cinema, to London where he joined the National Youth Theatre and trained at Identity School of Acting.[5]

Career

In February 2018, it was announced that Perdomo was cast in the series regular role of Ambrose Spellman on the Netflix series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.[6] Reports revealed that Perdomo previously auditioned for the role of Jughead Jones on Riverdale, but the role was given to Cole Sprouse.[7] Perdomo, however, impressed Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the creator of the series, with his audition so much so, that Aquirre-Sacasa wrote the role of Sabrina's Ambrose with the actor in mind.[8][9]
