| Biography |
| Not many people can star on gridiron and stage at the same time but Arlen Escarpeta managed to balance both a few years ago, serving as the captain of the football team while performing in several drama productions as part of the arts-magnet program at Hollywood High School. Escarpeta also ran on his school track team and sang at his graduation ceremony. Escarpeta is a native to Belize, Central America who came to the United States after his father, construction worker, died when he was at the age of 3. His mother, a manager at a dental office, settled in Los Angeles where her young son began to sing and dance in the Young Saints Scholarship Foundation. At 9, Escarpeta was cast in the title role of his elementary school's stylized production of "Hamlet" and was won over by the applause he recieved at the final curtain. From there, Escarpeta attended several arts-magnet schools in Los Angeles until he arrived at Hollywood High, were he honored his skills in dance, technical and music theater and drama. He has since attended Pasadena City College for more then two years while studying socialogy. Despite swift times of 21.8 seconds running the 200-yard dash and a personal best of 47' -2 1/2" in the triple jump--he opted to concentrate on acting rather than dedicate the necessary amount of time to the junior college's track team. In his leisure time, Escarpeta prefers to draw cartoon characters, read non-fiction and restore his 1964 Volkswagon Beetle sedan. He's also a Los Angeles Laker and Dallas Cowboy fan, and remains active working for the Youth Saints Scholarship Foundation. His birthday is April 9, 1981! Arlen also plays on a charity celebrity basketball team, Hollywood Knights. |
