Biography
[edit | edit source]Cruz was born in The Bronx of Puerto Rican descent. His mother, Julia, was a songwriter.[1] He currently resides in Los Angeles. He started his acting career when he was 9. However, when he was 13, and was auditioning for a role, the director explained to him that he was a bad actor, so Cruz decided to enter The School of Performing Arts that same year.[2]
Cruz appeared as assistant D.A. Martin Allende in the legal drama Shark, with co-stars James Woods and Jeri Ryan. In the 1998 film Why Do Fools Fall in Love, Cruz played the role of Herman Santiago, one of the original members of the rock and roll group The Teenagers. Along with Erick Avari, Richard Kind, and French Stewart, he is one of only four actors to appear in both the original Stargate film and the continuing TV series Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe.
