Hola. I am a Houston TX based stage/film actor. I’m also a musician and an avid photographer.
I think Pep Guardiola is the best soccer manager working right now. Houston Dynamo FC are the worst but they are the hometown team so, you know, I gotta back them.
Tony Shalhoub and Mads Mikkelsen are my favorite actors.
My wife and daughter are the most important things to me but a good cup of coffee is a not so far second.
Reviews
Gravity and stillness characterize Arriaga’s work, in a deeply inhabited performance as Abel. A striking cautiousness gives way to Abel unloading a painfully grueling story of his past and present, centered on his daughter, a spellbinding moment of theater.
Ithaca Stages
A particular standout, though, is Orlando Arriaga. Among
the roles Arriaga shoulders is that of an undocumented
immigrant, shattered by grief, whom Quixote and Sancho
encounter in a desert canyon.
Boston Globe
And there was no single element I appreciated more than Orlando
Arriaga as Cardenio, an undocumented Salvadoran whose
family has died along the road to the U.S. land of
promise, leaving him half-mad in a desert canyon.
New York Stage Review
Orlando Arriaga (Padre Perez, Cardenio) shows his range taking on
the priest, as well as a lost soul in the desert and
Quijano’s abusive father.
