whole family is there, I live in California but I miss
Miami.
Latin Times Magazine: What inspired you to be an
actor?
Oscar Torre: I kind of fell into it, I was taking an
elective class at Miami Dade Community College and
I asked my girlfriend at the time to sign me up for a
class so since the one I wanted wasn’t available, as a
joke she signed me up for an acting class and because
of that decision I am an actor today.
Latin Times Magazine: Tell us about any struggles you
have had being a Latino Actor.
Oscar Torre: The Struggles that I have faced are the
struggles any actor faces, I have been casted in white
roles but most of the time they would make the role
Latino, but when I went to LA, California I struggled,
took me six years until finally I got the role in “Ladron
roba Ladron” and then I booked “CANE” with Jimmy
Smits and Rita Moreno, I went from zero to sixty in a
month and a lot of doors opened for me.
Latin Times Magazine: Hola Oscar, tell us about the
movie “The Boatman” and any other projects you are
working on.
Oscar Torre: The Boatman which is Directed by Greg
Morgan is a paranormal thriller where I play the lead
role as Miguel who is the coyote who has the perfect
record of helping people across the river successfully
and being an honest man without being caught, but
on the road I keep running into people dying and they
give me their last dying wishes and I relay that information to their families, Then I find a young woman
who actually survives and claims that she knows me
