Santiago Cabrera
stars in NBC’s new ensemble drama series “Heroes” as Isaac Mendez,
a heroin-addicted artist whose dark, violent and apocalyptic paintings
are actual premonitions of future events. “Heroes” follows the lives
of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.
Before becoming an actor, Cabrera originally planned on becoming a
soccer player. He played soccer for three years on college scholarships
in Chile and played semi-pro in London.
While training for three years at the Drama Centre London, Cabrera
starred in numerous productions, including “The Last Days of Don
Juan,” “The Strangeness of Others” and “Britannicus.” After
graduating, his first role was “Montano” in Shakespeare’s
“Othello” at the Northampton Theatre Royal and in London at The
Greenwich Theatre.
Cabrera’s career break-through came when he was cast in the lead role
of “Octavius” in ABC’s “Empire.” He will next be seen on
screen starring opposite Brittany Murphy in “Love and Other
Disasters,” as well as “Haven” opposite Orlando Bloom. The actor
recently completed filming “Goal! 2: Living the Dream” and will star
in the lead role in “Goal 3.”
