Full Bio

Nominated for a 2015 Emmy Award for his riveting portrayal of Hector Tontz in ABC’s commercially and critically acclaimed anthology series American Crime, (created by Oscar-winner John Ridley), Richard Cabral was discovered by the producers of NBC’s Southland while working as a Baker at Homeboy Industries. He’s been taking Hollywood by storm ever since.

Richard was recently awarded Homeboy Industries “Homeboy Hero Award” given to the former gang member and “graduate” from the Homeboy program, who has most profoundly transformed his or her life. A former gang-member, he fought a life-sentence and has since dedicated himself to helping others born into similar circumstances.  He was also named one of Variety Latino’s ’10 Latinos to Watch’ in 2016.

With memorable roles in Ridley Scott’s The Counselor (starring opposite Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and Michael Fassbender), the Chris Weitz film A Better Life (with Demian Bichir), End of Watch (opposite Jake Gyllenhaal), Rampart (with Woody Harrelson), Devil’s Ink (opposite Zoe Bell and RJ Mitte) and Snitch (opposite Dwayne Johnson), Richard has also made guest starring turns on ABC’s Body of Proof, and HBO’s Luck. He will next be seen in Blood Father, a Taken-style action thriller directed by Jean-Francois Richet (Mesrine) and starring Mel Gibson.
