Jose Pablo Cantillo (born March 30, 1979) is an American actor. He is best known for playing Ricky Verona in Crank, Hector Salazar in FX's Sons of Anarchy, and Caesar Martinez in AMC's The Walking Dead.
Early life
The son of Costa Rican parents, Roberto Cantillo and Rita Bolaños, Jose Pablo Cantillo (known as "Joey" in his high school days[1]) was born in Marshfield, Wisconsin. He grew up in Terre Haute, Indiana and attended Terre Haute South Vigo High School, where he was a tennis standout for all four years, leading the Terre Haute South Braves to a State Runner-Up finish in 1996.[2] He graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 2003 with a double major in marketing and finance from the Kelley School of Business.[3]
Career
Cantillo decided to pursue an acting career in New York City after taking some drama classes at IU. In late 2003, he moved to California.[4]
After acting in Off-Broadway plays in New York, Cantillo has landed guest roles on popular television series since early 2000.[citation needed] He played a recurring role in The Walking Dead as Caesar Martinez,[5] and roles in two of Neil Blomkamp's films, the science fiction action thriller Elysium (2013) and Chappie (2015).[6] In 2019, he played the role of Detective Martinez in the "Latino superhero movie" El Chicano.[7]
Personal life
In late 2003, Cantillo moved to California, where he, his wife Kristi, and their 7-year-old daughter live in Santa Clarita, a town “that kind of reminds us of Terre Haute”.[8]
