Oliva developed the idea for the series drawing from his own life, explaining "I came up with the idea because I grew up in a small time medical clinic. My Dad is the owner/Doctor of a medical practice and my Mom is the administrator. My Grandfather, Uncle, Brother and Sister-in-Law are also doctors, so medicine is in my blood. It only made sense to write a series that encapsulated all the craziness I’ve seen in the medical field."

SUBURBIA M.D. marked the first for Oliva as a solo writer-producer, adding “It was genuinely terrifying to produce a project alone that I wrote. But, I couldn’t be happier with the final product. The entire cast and crew brought their A-game.”

Oliva has been building a solid reputation in Hollywood and beyond. His most recent credits include a guest starring role on Disney Juniors’ new series Elena of Avalor and a supporting role in the dark comedy indie feature Friended to Death. Visitors to the ‘happiest place on Earth’ will recognize him as a member of Disneyland’s resident barbershop quartet, “The Dapper Dans of Disneyland”. Oliva earned his B.F.A. in Acting from the prestigious University of Southern California and is a graduate of the renowned Groundling Improv School.

Coming in 2016, Oliva created and will star in the murder mystery musical MURRRDER at The Groundlings Theater. He is also in-development as writer/star of a LARP (Live Action Role Play) mockumentary feature.
