Isaac Mendez Played by Santiago Cabrera

Santiago Cabrera stars in NBC’s new ensemble drama series as Isaac Mendez, a heroin-addicted artist whose dark, violent and apocalyptic paintings are actual premonitions of future events. His paintings are graphic reminders of what actually happens in future scenes.

Before becoming an actor, Cabrera originally planned on becoming a soccer player. He played soccer for three years on college scholarships in Chile and played semi-pro in London.

While training for three years at the Drama Centre London, Cabrera starred in numerous productions, including "The Last Days of Don Juan," "The Strangeness of Others" and "Britannicus." After graduating, his first role was "Montano" in Shakespeare’s "Othello" at the Northampton Theatre Royal and in London at The Greenwich Theatre.

Cabrera grew up in London, Romania, Toronto and Madrid. Although he considers Santiago, Chile, his hometown, he currently splits his time between London and Los Angeles. In addition to his native Spanish language, he is fluent in English, French and Italian.
