Puerto rican actors and actresses: Puerto Rican Actresses – IMDb

Famous People from Puerto Rico

You can find the Puerto Rican flag flying pride anywhere in the island.

A round-up of Island-born legends you may recognize.

Puerto Rico may be geographically small, yet some of the world’s biggest stars take pride in being hijos de la isla. From superstar performers and Oscar-winning celebs to the sports hall of Famers and our very own PEGOT, these boricuas have elevated the reputation of the Island of Enchantment on an international level. Here’s a quick roundup of some Puerto Ricans you probably admire, yet may not have known hold ties to the Island.

From Stage to Silver Screen

Puerto Rico cannot talk about Hollywood without acknowledging Rita Moreno, the first Latina and third American to obtain PEGOT (Peabody, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) status. A Humacao native, Moreno gained widespread fame with the musical “West Side Story” in 1961 and was recently recognized for her role in Netflix’s original series “One Day at a Time”. At 87 years old she continues to thrive, serving as an executive producer in Steven Spielberg’s remake of “West Side Story”, a film in which she is also co-starring.

From San Germán came Benicio del Toro, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the movie “Traffic”. Del Toro gained mainstream attention for his roles in films such as “Snatch”, “Guardians of the Galaxy”, “Star Wars Episode VII”, “Sicario”, and more. Most recently, he starred in the award-winning miniseries “Escape at Dannemora”, alongside Patricia Arquette and directed by Ben Stiller.

Raúl Juliá is a legend in Puerto Rico and a source of great pride. From San Juan, the late actor’s fruitful career began on Broadway in “Two Gentlemen of Verona”, for which he received a Tony nomination. In television he appeared in shows such as “Loving Life” and “Sesame Street” and, among the many films he starred in, he is most remembered for his roles in “Man of La Mancha” and his portrayal of Gomez Adams in “The Addams Family” and “Addams Family Values”.

Some other Hollywood “big names” who hail from Puerto Rico include actress and philanthropist Roselyn Sánchez, Academy Award-nominee Joaquin Phoenix, and veteran actor Luis Guzmán.

Hitting the Mic

Considered the King of Latin Pop, Ricky Martin was born in San Juan and began his music career at age 12 with a local boy band called Menudo. This Grammy Award winner has made a name for himself not only in music, but as an actor, from his famous hits like “Living la Vida Loca” and “She Bangs”, to his roles in TV series such as “Glee”, “American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace”, “The Voice”, and others.

Another global phenomenon is Daddy Yankee, the singer, songwriter, rapper, actor, and record producer who coined the term Reggaetón, to describe the urban music genre emerging from Puerto Rico. Dubbed the “King of Reggaetón”, Daddy Yankee has won over 82 awards since his rise to international fame in 2004.

Other big names in music include Gilberto Santa Rosa, Chayanne, José Feliciano, Luis Fonsi, Wisin y Yandel, and Bad Bunny.

An All-Star Roster

Carolina’s very own Roberto Clemente was the first Latin American and Caribbean player to be accepted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. As a Pittsburgh Pirate, Clemente won four National League batting titles as well as 12 Gold Gloves, an award given to the best fielding player in each position. In 1972 Clemente had his 3,000th base hit on his very last at bat as a player. At the time, only 10 other players had reached this mark. He died in an aviation accident in 1972.

Another Hall of Famer is Iván “Pudge” Rodríguez. From the town of Manatí, Rodríguez went on to play Major League Baseball with the Texas Rangers (on two different occasions), Florida Marlins, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, Houston Astros, and Washington Nationals. During his career in the MLB, he won 13 Gold Gloves.

Known for his flamboyant style in and out of the ring, Héctor “Macho” Camacho was a natural-born boxer and entertainer from Bayamón. His quick footwork made him a world champion in three different weight classes and he held the WBC super featherweight title from 1983 to 1984, the WBC lightweight title from 1985 to 1987, and the WBO junior welterweight title twice between 1989 and 1992. After his death in 2012, he was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2016. Camacho became a reference in popular culture after appearing on shows like The Wayan Bros, King of the Hill, and in songs by Lil Wayne.

Other outstanding Puerto Rican athletes include baseballers Carlos Beltrán, Roberto Alomar, and Yadier Molina; boxers Miguel Cotto and Felix “Tito” Trinidad; golfer Juan “Chi-Chi” Rodríguez; basketball players José Juan Barea and Carlos Arroyo; tennis player Mónica Puig; hurdler Javier Culson; and many others.

10 hot actors of Latin American TV series 90-x — Women’s magazine “GOLDEN”

Ivo, Sergio Costa, Luis Alberto, fisherman Ramiro – find out how the lives of the actors who won hearts in the 90s.

In the 90s, we watched with bated breath the rivalry between Ivo and Sergio from the Wild Angel and the difficult fate of the fisherman Ramiro from the Tropicanka – we recall the main idols of those years.

Share:

Facundo Arana, “Wild Angel”

The Argentine TV series “Wild Angel” appeared on the screens in 1998 and immediately became wildly popular. The romantic story of the rich heir Ivo and the maid Milli fell in love with both schoolgirls and their grandmothers, and the leading actors Natalia Oreiro and Facundo Aranda immediately became generation 9 sex symbols0’s. Big blue eyes (always a little wet from an overabundance of feelings) and wheat-colored hair of handsome Ivo made millions of girlish hearts beat faster.

Few people know that just a few years before his starring role, the young Facundo Arana suffered cancer – after chemotherapy, not a single hair was left on his head, and it seemed that his dream of becoming an actor could be forgotten.

After “Wild Angel” Arana was literally flooded with job offers: every Argentinean director wanted to see an actor in his series. He starred in several high-profile projects (including “You are my life!” with the same Natalia Oreiro). Now Facundo plays in the theater, actively tours with his musical group The Blue Light Orquestra, brings up three charming kids and surfs with his beautiful wife Maria. In a month he will be 49 years old: “Most of all, I am glad that I got to this point alive and in my right mind. I enjoy the sunset, I see the children and Maria walking nearby. It’s hard to believe… I thought that this couldn’t happen to me!” – he says about himself.

Diego Ramos, “Wild Angel”

Another hero of the “Wild Angel” that we remember is the burning brunette Sergio, Ivo’s rival in the fight for Millie’s heart. Many fans of the series were rooting for him: from the look of the warm brown eyes of actor Diego Ramos, hearts melted. However, Diego managed to acquire an army of admirers even before “Angel”: he played a major role in another serial hit – “The Rich and Famous.” The courageous face of the actor did not leave the billboards and magazine covers, the directors lined up for him, but … at the very peak of his popularity “at the behest of the soul” Diego left the cinema for the theater. But he managed to popularize theatrical art in Argentina: every time he played, the Rekhina Theater was filled with crowds of female fans who wanted to get closer to their idol for at least an hour.

With age, the actor has only become more attractive: he actively goes in for sports, adheres to a healthy diet and protects himself from negative emotions . In an interview, Diego admitted that he prefers to be a bachelor because he does not want to limit himself for the sake of another person. The star has a promoted Instagram account and tens of thousands of likes under the photo in which he advertises the boxers of a well-known lingerie brand.

Rogelio Guerra, “The rich also cry”

The second (after “Slave Isaura”) real “soap opera” was released on Soviet screens on November 18, 1991 – and produced the effect of a bombshell. Only a month remained before the collapse of the USSR, and our viewers were worried not so much about the fate of the state, but about the relationship between the beautiful Marianna and the heartthrob Luis Alberto. Actors Veronica Castro and Rogelio Guerra instantly made world celebrities their roles. By the time of filming “The Rich …” Rogelio managed to exchange his fifth decade – it would seem that the age is rather big, however, he played the heroes-lovers for a long time, winning the hearts of millions of spectators from all over the world with his textured, courageous appearance. In total, the artist starred in 101 films and television series.

An interesting detail: the plot of “The Rich…”, in which all the clichés of world literature are bizarrely intertwined, seemed to Russian television people such utter nonsense that they flatly refused to buy it. Then the distributors offered them to sample a few episodes for free – for the sake of experiment, so to speak. Sticking out their little fingers in disgust, the CT employees agreed – and then whole bags of letters fell on them, in which angry viewers demanded the continuation of the series. Subsequently, the incredible adventures of Marianna and Luis Alberto were shown in prime time and two episodes at once.

Toño Mauri, Just Maria

A series about a poor girl Maria Lopez, meanly abandoned by the seducer Juan Carlos, but, like Katya from Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears, who managed to succeed, found popular love at 90 -e. The image of “just Mary” was used in his videos by Sergei Mavrodi, and in honor of the illegitimate son of the heroine Jose Ignacio, compassionate Russian women named their own children. Charming heartthrob Lopez Jr. was played by Tono Mauri.

Toño came to the cinema from show business – in the 80s he performed in a popular Mexican band. The role of Jose Ignacio opened the way for the young man to further film career. Now Toño is 56, he is in great shape and consistently acts in films about love (“Love Outlaw”, “Two Faces of Passion”, “Under the Reins of Love” – the titles of his works speak for themselves). In addition, he is engaged in business and produces young musicians. In his personal life, everything is fine too: for more than 30 years, Tono has been happily married to the granddaughter of the ex-president of Mexico and the daughter of Miss Universe-1953 Carloy Aleman. He does not have a soul in his daughter, who, like his wife, was named Karla, and helps her in every possible way in her singing career – she even sings a duet with her.

Guillermo Capetillo, “Wild Rose”

Veronica Castro’s triumph again – despite the fact that many years have passed since the series “The Rich Also Cry”, the actress plays here a young tomboy girl who plays football with children and wearing caps backwards. But the most interesting thing is that her former on-screen son Guillermo Capetillo in the new series transformed into a rich lover: Russian viewers, who had not yet forgotten their mother-son relationship, could not get used to this for a long time. However, it was a completely logical move: Veronica was considered the main celebrity of Mexican cinema, Guillermo was its main handsome man, so they decided to combine them. After the release of “Wild Rose”, the actor was awarded the prize for “Best Positive Leading Role”.

Guillermo’s biography is more interesting than any series: in addition to acting, he is also a sought-after model, a wonderful singer and … a professional matador who has taken part in more than 300 bullfights. In 2005, he played the main, in his opinion, the role of his life in the film “Matador”.

Erson Capri, “Tropikanka”

The story of the poor fisherman Ramiro and the rich beauty Leticia opened the era of Brazilian TV series on our television. Needless to say, they turned out to be much more dynamic and modern than their Mexican predecessors, and they also had more humor and good music.
