"How A Film Producer's Gamble on Me Paid Off."

"Nothing is a sure thing. When GoldenTiger Productions auditioned actor Gabriel Baez for the role of Orlando Sanchez in the comedy Can't Complain, a hidden talent was revealed. Quickly a gamble turned into a great move when production on Can't Complain started in 2008. Born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, Gabriel made it known that he can add depth to a character. Gabriel fell in love with acting while growing up in Maryland (Montgomery County). Getting into acting was a huge question mark. From audition to audition Gabriel failed but the desire to be an actor was irreplaceable. Gabriel decided that he had to learn acting from scratch. Even though Gabriel has learned alot about acting in the past four years, his motivation to keep learning is seen through his preparation while working with actors, producers and directors.

Looking into different techniques of acting and finding a variety of exercises help Gabriel in different aspects like blocking and reaction. Gabriel is a firm believer that when you work hard on your passion in life - your talents will pay off in the end. Role models like Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman, and James Franco inspire Gabriel to audition for a variety of different roles. With roles in the short film The Puppeteer, the action indie flick Razorblade City and the drama indie film King of Baltimore - staying busy from one project to the next is the only thing that will put a smile on Gabriel's face."
