David Zayas as Angel Batista in Dexter and Enrique Morales in Prison of Oz. David Zayas became an actor when he was no longer young. He served in the Air Force for a while and then was a police officer for 15 years. The experience of working in the police was quite useful to him in the performance of roles in films, although it somewhat reduced the range of roles offered to him. The former police officer was invited mainly to the role of police officers in TV series. Or - criminals, the good of their psychology Zayas also knew well.
David Zayas has loved movies since childhood. When he was young, his father took him and his brother to the movies every Saturday, 52 times a year. And even then, David admired the possibilities of cinema, he admired the fact that the actor can “try on” a piece of someone else’s life, tell different stories about different people. Of course, David wanted to do it himself. Dreams are dreams and life is life. David came from a blue-collar family, and married early, the family had to be fed, and David chose a path that was more natural and reliable for him.
But when the opportunity presented itself, David Zayas began to study acting. He worked very hard on himself and achieved his goal - he became an actor thanks to hard work. “I began to work hard. And I knew this was what I loved," Zayas said, "and I met a lot of people on the way who really cared about art. I was able to distinguish them from those for whom art was a business.
For a long time he was an actor of the wandering theater LAByrinth Theatre Company, which then left as he began acting in TV series. Now in the filmography of Zayes many works: roles in the films “Without a trace”, “Dexter”, “Numbers”, “Law and Order”, “Oz”, “All My Children”, “Guide Light”, “Third Shift”, “Trinity” and others. /
