Santiago Cabrera is a Venezuelan actor best known for his roles in Heroes (2006-2007), Merlin (2008-2010), and The Musketeers (2014-2016). 

Originally, the actor wanted to pursue a career in soccer but gave up after realizing he didn’t have the potential to go further than the semi-professional level. Thankfully, his passion for acting led him to international success. 

Age & Bio 

Santiago Cabrera was born on 5th May 1978 in Caracas, Venezuela. His father, Pablo Cabrera Gaete, was a Chilean diplomat and his mother was Cecilia Perez Walker.

Due to the nature of his father's work, Santiago lived in London, Romania, Toronto, and Madrid, growing up. The actor was a middle child and has a sister and a brother.

For the first few years, the couple didn’t have much money and pushed back their plans on having children. When Santiago finally found success and had enough money to support children, the pair came across great misfortune. 

Anna faced miscarriages twice in a row. The events were very taxing on the duo, and they went through a very tough time. They even decided not to have children altogether. 

Just as the pair decided to remain a childless couple, they were blessed with a child. In April of 2016, the actor and his wife welcomed a new member to their family: a son named Kilian Emiliano. 

Movies & TV Shows

Santiago’s debut work was the British television drama series, Spooks, in 2003. He appeared as a minor character in various other works. His first lead role was in the 2005 series, Empire, where he portrays Octavius, Rome’s first emperor. 

Following this role, he got the opportunity to be the main cast in Heroes. His performance in Heroes as Issac Mendez turned him into a favorite of many fans and propelled his career by a huge margin.
