The Players
Mark Vasquez
(“Ari”)
Mark Vazquez was born in sunny exotic Brooklyn, N.Y. and has moved around from coast to coast until landing in Cooper City, Fla., then back to N.Y.C. about two years ago. Before moving back to the big city, Mark was the ultimate odd job man not knowing what his true passion was. Originally prepping to become the next (the first?) Puerto Rican basketball star, he realized he actually needed talent and was forced to move on. He eventually found that acting was his true passion and it led him back to New York, where he attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (c/o 2005). Some notable roles to Mark’s credit have been Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard where he played Lopahin, Edward Albee’s Lady from Dubuque playing Fred, and Enigma Films’ Joshua Calling, where he played Vince, a drug dealer (go figure). Big on friends and family, he thanks his grandparents for helping him succeed and be the person he is today, and his buddies in the Coop for always keeping it real. Mark looks foward to a bright future and someday hopes to employ someone to write his bio for him.
