Xavier Torres(III)
- Actor
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Xavier Torres began his career at age 15
working as talent material for commercials and publicity campaigns. As
his popularity and interest in the entertainment industry grew, he
became impelled to take on acting as a profession.
Torres moved to Miami in hopes of expanding his opportunities. Once
there, he booked roles in the feature films "Quiéreme Mucho" and "La
Cocina", and also starred in Telemundo's original series "Decisiones"
that played in Latin America. In 2006 he got his first chance to enter
the Anglo-Saxon market with a starring role in the Lifetime Television
Network movie Break In. In it he plays "Angel", a young thief that
kidnaps a group of tourists who were on vacation in the Caribbean.
Here, Xavier worked alongside Kelly Carlson of the popular TV series
Nip/Tuck and the well-known Latin actor and singer Carlos Ponce.
His performance in Break In opened up great opportunities and the
interest of Hollywood agents and managers began to rise. During this
process, Xavier auditioned and obtained a part in the acclaimed HBO
original series Entourage, becoming the first Latin actor to take part
in the show. He played the role of "Javier Gracho", a dreamy soap opera
actor who has a romantic scene with "Mrs. Ari", Emmy and Golden Globe
Award winner Jeremy Piven's on-screen wife, interpreted by Perry
Reeves.
In his latest work, the Disney Channel's Emmy Award winning Original TV
Series': Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, he worked alongside the
highly acclaimed actress Selena Gomez, David Henrie, and Jake T.
Austin. In the movie, Xavier plays "Javier", a windsurfing instructor
who tries to charm "Alex" while she's on vacation with her family. The
movie was the most watched telecast of 2009 with 11.4 million viewers
on opening night and the second most viewed Disney movie after High
School Musical 2.
Xavier Torres stands out, not only because of his talent, but also with
the versatility of his image and style. So much so that he was selected
to appear on the cover of TIME Magazine's May 29, 2009 issue
representing "The Future of Work" feature article. His fresh
personality and his steadfast determination guarantee his successful
future. He was recognized as Hollywood's new "Latin Hunk" by the New
York Daily News and was selected as one of the "50 Most Beautiful" by
Cosmopolitan magazine. Xavier Torres steadily continues breaking
through and positioning himself as a prominent actor, both in the Latin
American and Anglo-Saxon markets.
