José Ferrer was a Puerto Rican actor and film director. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor for playing the title character in Cyrano de Bergerac (1950). Ferrer was the first Puerto Rican actor to win an Academy Award, and also the first Hispanic actor to win an Academy Award.

In 1912, Ferrer was born is San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico. Established as a Spanish colonial city in 1521, San Juan is the third oldest European-established capital city in the Americas, following Santo Domingo (established in 1496) and Panama City (established in 1521). Ferrer's father was Rafael Ferrer, a lawyer and author who was born and raised in San Juan. Ferrer's mother was María Providencia Cintrón, a native of the coastal town of Yabucoa. Ferrer's paternal grandfather was Dr. Gabriel Ferrer Hernández, who had campaigned for Puerto Rican independence from the Spanish Empire.

The Ferrer family moved to New York City in 1914, when José was 2-years-old. As a school student, Ferrer was educated abroad at the Institut Le Rosey, a prestigious boarding school located in Rolle, Switzerland. In 1933, Ferrer was enrolled at Princeton University, located in Princeton, New Jersey. He studied architecture, and wrote a senior thesis about French Naturalism and the literary works of Spanish naturalist writer Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851-1921). In 1934, Ferrer transferred to Columbia University, where he studied Romance languages.

In 1934, while still a college student, Ferrer made his theatrical debut in Long Island-based theatre. In 1935, he was hired as the stage manager at the Suffern Country Playhouse. Later in 1935, Ferrer made his Broadway debut in the comedy play "A Slight Case of Murder" by Damon Runyon (1880-1946) and Howard Lindsay (1889-1968). This stage production of the play ran for 69 performances, with Ferrer appearing in all of them.

Ferrer's major success as a Broadway actor was performing in the play "Brother Rat" by John Monks Jr. (1910-2004) and Fred F. Finklehoffe (1910-1977). The play had a ran of 577 performances from 1936 to 1938. Among his subsequent theatrical appearances, the most successful were staged productions of Mamba's Daughters (1938), which ran for 163 performances, and "Charley's Aunt" (1940-1941), which ran for 233 performances. His role in "Charley's Aunt" required him to perform in drag, for the first time in his career.

Ferrer had one of the greatest theatrical successes of his career when playing the villainous Iago in a Broadway production of "Othello' by William Shakespeare. The production had a ran of 296 performances, lasting from 1943 to 1944. Ferrer played his most famous role as the historical figure of Cyrano de Bergerac (1619-1655) in the 1946-1947 Broadway season. For this role, Ferrer won the 1947 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play.

Ferrer made his film debut in the Technicolor epic "Joan of Arc" (1948). He played the historical monarch Charles VII of France (1403-1461, reigned 1422-1461), the ruler who Joan of Arc served during the Hundred Years' War. For his debut role, Ferrer was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The Award was instead won by rival actor Walter Huston (1883-1950).

Ferrer's success as a film actor, helped him gain more film roles in Hollywood-produced films. He played the "smooth-talking hypnotist David Korvo" in the film noir "Whirlpool" (1949), and dictator Raoul Farrago in the film noir "Crisis". He had a career highlight with a film adaptation of the play "Cyrano de Bergerac", where he played the title role. For this role, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor.

His next critically successful role was that of artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) in the historical drama "Moulin Rouge" (1952). For this role, Ferrer was again nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. The award was instead won by rival actor Gary Cooper (1901-1961). The film also marked a financial success for Ferrer, who received 40% of the film's profits.

Ferrer also appeared in other box office hits of the 1950s, such as the musical "Miss Sadie Thompson" (1953), the Navy-themed drama "The Caine Mutiny" (1954), and the biographical film "Deep in My Heart" (1954). Ferrer was also interested in becoming a film director. He made his directing debut with the film noir "The Shrike" (1955). His subsequent directing efforts included war film "The Cockleshell Heroes" (1955), the film noir "The Great Man" (1956), the biographical film I Accuse! (1958), and the comedy film "The High Cost of Loving" (1958). While still critically well-received, several of these films were box office flops. He took a hiatus from films productions.

Ferrer attempted a comeback as a film director with the sequel film "Return to Peyton Place" (1961) and the musical film "State Fair" (1962). Both films were box office flops. As an actor, Ferrer had a supporting role as a Turkish Bey in the historical drama "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962). While a relatively minor role, Ferrer considered the finest role of his film career.

In television, Ferrer gained a notable role as the narrator in the pilot episode of the hit sitcom "Bewitched" (1964-1972). In films, Ferrer started playing mostly supporting roles. He briefly returned to the role of Cyrano de Bergerac in the French adventure film "Cyrano and d'Artagnan". He had another notable role as a historical monarch, playing Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea (reigned 4 BC-39 AD) in the Biblical epic "The Greatest Story Ever Told" (1965).

Ferrer had his first notable role as a voice actor, playing the villain Ben Haramed in the Rankin/Bass Christmas "The Little Drummer Boy" (1968). But at this time, he started having legal troubles. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) accused Ferrer of still owing unpaid taxes since 1962.

Ferrer had many film roles in the 1970s, but no outstanding highlights. As a voice actor, he voiced Cyrano de Bergerac in an episode of "The ABC Afterschool Special". In the 1980s, Ferrer played a monarch again, playing Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV in the science fiction film "Dune". The film was an adaptation of the 1965 novel "Dune" by Frank Herbert (1920-1986), and Shaddam was one of the film's villains. This was among the last notable roles of Ferrer's long career.

Ferred retired from acting entirely in 1991, due to increasing health problems. His last theatrical performance was a production of the generation-gap drama "Conversations with My Father". Ferrer died in 1992, due to colorectal cancer. He was 80-years-old. He died in Coral Gables, Florida, but was buried in the Santa María Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Several of his children had acting careers of their own.

From Jesus Christ and Johnny Ramone, to a violently brilliant billionaire and a libidinous priest, all the way to gritty cops, international drug lords, straight laced lawyers, gay hustlers, crooked doctors and razor sharp political animals, Julian Acosta has been a part of some of television's most talked about projects, which along with his mesmerizing performances on film, have shone a light on Julian's most distinguishing quality as an artist - RANGE

Julian was born and raised in Puerto Rico and moved to El Paso, TX as a teenager. After dropping out of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX drifting around the state and holding down every conceivable job in order to make ends meet, he enrolled at North Harris College in Houston. Both as a result of not knowing what to do with his life and in an effort to meet girls, it is there that he discovered acting. Thanks to this life course correction, Julian went on to earn a B.F.A. in Theater at Florida International University in Miami and an M.F.A. from RUTGERS University. Upon graduation, Acosta moved to New York where he was quickly cast in Denis Leary's heralded but short-lived comedy series "The Job" on ABC. Acosta has held recurring roles on "NCIS: New Orleans" on CBS, "Madam Secretary" on CBS, "Hand of God" on Amazon, "Being Mary Jane" on BET, "Dirt" on F/X, "Strong Medicine" on Lifetime, "The Defenders" on CBS, "Hollywood Heights" on NICK, "Franklin and Bash" on TNT, and "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" on ABC Family. He has made guest starring turns on "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders", "Elementary", "NCIS: Los Angeles," "The Mentalist," "The Unit," and "NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service" [CBS], "The Librarians", "Proof" [TNT], "Grimm," "Law & Order," "Law & Order LA," "King Pin" and "The West Wing" [NBC], "Covert Affairs" [USA], "Castle," "George Lopez" and "Scrubs" [ABC], "Entourage" [HBO], to name a few. On the film front, Acosta has been seen in THE THREE CHRISTS directed by Jon Avnet, CBGB playing Legendary Punk Rock guitarist Johnny Ramone, THE LORDS OF SALEM directed by Rob Zombie, THE ATTICUS INSTITUTE directed by Chris Sparling, BOUND BY LIES with Stephen Baldwin and Kristy Swanson and TRUE LOVE directed by Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize Nominee Henry Barrial.

Service is an important part of Julian's life with the trans-formative power of education at the forefront. Most recently he founded and financed a yearly scholarship in his native Puerto Rico with two, one male and one female, High School students receiving a scholarship to the University of Puerto Rico. The scholarship is named after his paternal grandmother who was one of many passionate educators in Julian's family and goes to students graduating from the same rural town in which she taught.

Wilmer Calderon was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, and moved to Brandon, Florida, near Tampa at the age of two. He learned to speak Spanish at home from his parents and English from watching Sesame Street (1969). At the age of five, he started playing baseball, a year-round sport in Florida, and it quickly became his major preoccupation throughout his school years. In his senior year in high school, he set a single-season record for stolen bases. Continuing on to Marshall University, it soon became apparent that another discipline was calling him.

In his spare time, Calderon appeared in several school plays, and eventually he had to choose between following a career in baseball or giving himself full time to acting. He landed three lines in the Florida-filmed feature The Walking Dead (1995), earned his Screen Actors Guild card, and was off and running. He had a recurring role in the TV series Second Noah (1996) and appeared in the telefilms Summer of Fear (1996) and Love's Deadly Triangle: The Texas Cadet Murder (1997).

Coming from a long line of doctors and lawyers in his family, Tobi (Real name Tobi-Wan) consistently found himself encircled by inspiring personalities. He is the first person in his family to pioneer towards the path of art. He has an older sister, Lourdes Cristina Rodriguez D'Acosta. At Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, his high school, Rodriguez was involved in sports, debating, oratory, and was voted president of the Drama Club in 2000. The artist, originally from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, moved to Hollywood, California shortly after receiving a Bachelor in Fine Arts from LIU Post, Long Island University, in New York. He quickly realized that the true place to learn how to be an actor was upon the stage with the real critics... an audience. So he pressed on, to appear in collections of noteworthy performances, in such plays as: Our Country's Good (2004), directed by Drama Desk award winner Jonathan Silverstien, Flesh and Blood (2004), which earned him an Irene Ryan Award nomination for best actor, and most recently the critically acclaimed Roll Call (2007), a play about Vietnam prejudice and the insanity brought home by a young abused soldier to the community of East Los Angeles, directed by veteran Mexican-American director Ricardo López. These projects earned him notice from Spanish network, and NBC cousin, Telemundo, which positioned him on the track to success within the Latin community, with his feature film debut, "Ilusión". Tobi spends his time reading, writing, playing music, walking his dog Renzo, eating, rehearsing his craft at Lesly Kahn & Co. in Santa Monica, CA, collecting quotes, dancing, and searching for a great hamburger. His favorite show is Mozart in the Jungle, and his favorite book is The Giver.

Legendary singer, composer, and all around entertainer who appeared occasionally in films, and whose music has been featured in the soundtracks of several movies. Considered one of the most important and influential Latin recording personalities of the XX century, Daniel's voice had a unique timbre which was totally different from other Latin crooners of any era. That special voice, along with a most personal singing style, made him a success on radio and on juke boxes everywhere.

His beginnings were very humble in Puerto Rico, his birth land. His father was a carpenter who seldom worked, while his mother was a low-payed seamstress working from home. In the late 1920s, the family moved to New York City looking for better opportunities which seldom materialized. Little Daniel hit the streets as a shoe-shiner in order to help with the family income. According to several sources, at age 14 Daniel left home for good upon discovering he had a singing talent. He started earning a modest living as a vocalist in little known musical groups that performed mainly at Puerto Rican birthday parties and weddings. In the 1930s he was hired by more reputable bands such as Trio Lírico and the Cuban Conjunto Yumurí which were the headliners at the Cuban Casino. It was there that famous Puerto Rican musician and composer Pedro Flores heard Daniel and was quite impressed by the young vocalist. Mr. Flores invited him to join his Pedro Flores Quartet and soon was writing songs suitable for Daniel's unique sound. Great success followed and by the early 1940s Daniel Santos' name was strong enough to sign a solo recording contract without abandoning his connection to Mr. Flores.

The collaboration yielded several hit records including the iconic "Despedida" (Farewell) inspired by the thousands of Puerto Ricans who were enlisted by Uncle Sam to fight in World War II. In the lyrics, the departing soldier bids farewell to his friends, his sweetheart, and finally to his mother, wondering if he'll ever see her again. The impact on audiences was astounding and "Despedida" became Daniel's signature song. It also had a profound political impact since many Puerto Ricans began questioning their involvement in a war they could not understand, nor the fact they had to fight it for The United States in far away countries. From then on, Daniel became associated with the movement for the independence of Puerto Rico and was quite vocal about the cause.

In 1941, Daniel was asked by Xavier Cugat to join his orchestra as a substitute for departing vocalist Miguelito Valdés. Daniel accepted promptly, but his association with Cugat did not last long. By the end of the year Daniel was recruited by the U.S. Army and the song "Despedida" became a reality in his own life. He was sent to Maui and later to Okinawa as part of the U.S. Army Infantry but there is no evidence that he did any actual fighting. In later years he claimed to "have been saved from the front lines" by his "ability to sing and play the guitar" but that never changed his dislike for the military which grew more bitter after experiencing in the service the same racism extended to all minorities by the establishment. At the end of the war, he went back to New York intending to relaunch his career. Pedro Flores was eagerly awaiting him with new songs to record including "Linda" but by then Daniel's personal life, which had never been exemplary, made a turn for the worse. Women, alcohol and drugs became a central part of his life and, strangely, it all added to his celebrity. In spite of it all "Linda", inspired by one of Daniel's many girlfriends, became a huge hit that remained forever in his repertoire.

Beginning in 1946 Daniel started a long residency in Havana, Cuba where he was offered a contract to sing on radio broadcasts. First at RHC Cadena Azul and later at Radio Suaritos, his voice reached all over the island turning him into a true radio superstar. It was at this time that a radio announcer started calling him "el inquieto anacobero" or "the restless devil", a nick name that stuck with audiences and remained with him for the rest of his life. Havana was then the show business capital of Latin America and the working opportunities for talented vocalists were boundless in the many night clubs, casinos and theaters. Daniel became an integral part of Havana's glamorous, if often frantic, night scene, but his biggest break came in 1950 when he was signed by Radio Progreso to sing and record with the ever popular big band Sonora Matancera. His recordings with that musical ensemble produced several hits which made Daniel's voice enormously popular from Argentina to Mexico.

He was now an internationally celebrated artist and one of the highest paid entertainers in the American continent. One of his biggest fans in Havana was no less than the President of Cuba, Carlos Prío Socarrás, who invited Daniel to perform at several official events and even had him for an informal dinner at his home. This newly found fame and financial bonanza plunged the singer into all kinds of excesses. About this time he was arrested by Havana police for possession of an illegal substance although many observers ventured that the real reason was Daniel romancing the wife of the Chief of Police. Whatever the reason, the singer was dumped in jail and was awaiting to see a judge when the President intervened granting him a presidential pardon. This protection ended abruptly in 1952 when President Prío Socarrás was ousted in a military coup led by Colonel Fulgencio Batista. It was clear to Daniel that he was no longer safe in Cuba and he decided to leave the island for good.

Undaunted, Daniel went into an extended tour of Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Colombia where he was an uncontested idol. His performances in Guayaquil, Ecuador, also added to his legend when he lost his voice causing a riot among his audience, but he later returned and sang non-stop for three hours to delirious public acclaim. Continuing his tumultuous life style, he was arrested in the Dominican Republic after a violent brawl at a bar, and such incidents followed the singer throughout his career.

In 1957 Daniel openly supported the cause of the Cuban Revolution by composing and recording "Sierra Maestra" an ode to the fighting rebels led by Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra mountains, donating all the profits of the record sales to Castro and his minions. After the triumph of the Revolution in 1959, he went back to Havana and had a hero's welcome by the new regime. However, always independent and rebellious, not long after his triumphant return, he sensed that a ruthless communist dictatorship was being instituted in the island. Fearless as usual, Daniel personally confronted Raúl Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara, accusing them of deceiving him and the Cuban people. Soon after he left Cuba never to return.

Daniel Santos continued recording and touring the Americas during the 1960s and 1970s always returning to his beloved Puerto Rico where he kept supporting the cause of independence. During his long career, apart from the many scandals, Daniel was celebrated for his generosity contributing money and his talent to several charities that benefited the sick, the needy and, especially, men in prison. By the early 1980s his health deteriorated and he decided to settle down with his twelfth wife in Ocala, Florida where he purchased a ranch he named "Anacobero Ranch" and a neighborhood supermarket he personally attended. On certain occasions he returned to singing and accepted gigs, which became less and less frequent, in Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, New York, and Los Angeles. It all came to a sudden halt on November 27, 1992 when his heart stopped beating at his Ocala home. By his own request he was buried in San Juan, Puerto Rico at the Santa María Pazzi Cemetery where his tomb is located not far from his mentor Pedro Flores and from Albizu Campos, the leader of the independence movement in Puerto Rico.

After his departure, books have been written about his extraordinary life and he has been the subject of documentaries and television specials while his recordings are in constant release.The legend that is Daniel Santos does not seem to be ending soon.
