Biography
Angel Fabián Rivera, born in Aguada, Puerto Rico, is a multi-talented artist and the youngest of three siblings. A graduate of the University of Puerto Rico's Drama Department, he honed his skills under the guidance of renowned director Dean Zayas. However, his artistic journey began earlier at the all-arts high school CETBA de CABA.
Passionate about music, acting, singing, and directing, Fabián's artistic life started with the piano at a young age. His love for movies led him to win awards in short film festivals during high school. During the pandemic, he founded the theatre company Artescena, pioneering online plays in Puerto Rico and creating the project "Regresaremos" to celebrate the return to theater stages with over 75 Puerto Rican artists.
Fueled by his experiences, Fabián ventured into the TV industry as a production coordinator for the bilingual show Lab Six. Subsequently, he landed a role in his first feature film, "Plane," alongside Gerard Butler and other notable actors. His theatre credits include various roles in productions such as Shrek: The Musical, Little Shop of Horrors, The Importance of Being Earnest, Homos or everyone in America, Once on this Island, Our Town, Mary Poppins, and Hairspray.
Adding a Disney project to his repertoire, Fabián contributed as a Spanish dubbing artist for Spielberg's West Side Story. While the future remains uncertain, one thing is clear-nothing will deter Fabián from pursuing his dreams. He serves as an inspiration, particularly to younger Latino generations, encouraging them to follow their dreams relentlessly.
