Cervantes Reck
- Actor
Born in The Bronx, New York and raised in beautiful Puerto Rico. When school was out, my family always sent me back to New York for every Summer vacation. From the years of elementary school, performing in every event was a way for me to get more attention. But the acting bug really bit me at the age of nine, while watching James Cagney portraying Lon Chaney Sr. in Man of A Thousand Faces. By the age of thirteen, I'd already read a vast amount of famous American plays and I became what is known as a "Theater Brat". In the mid 80's, studying Advanced Scene Study at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, became a really defining artistic moment. In older years, my involvement with the dramatics was not limited to just acting. Studying the craft of very talented artists, constructing, lighting sets and directing, also began to fascinate me. After being immerse in the theater world since childhood and being involved in over 50 theatrical performances, I leaped into the film scene in 2005. The award winning short film Test Day, directed by David Fabelo, became my first turn at movie making. Around the same time, Acclaim Talent agency from Austin, Texas began representing me artistically until the present time. Longtime fan of Tennessee Williams, Christopher Durang, Milos Forman, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Montgomery Clift, Orson Wells and Marlon Brando. Fluently speak English, Spanish and a little Italian. Animal rights activism also became one of my passions along with serious environmental issues.
