Biography
The man who became the first Latino cast member of the enduring late-night comedy staple
Saturday Night Live, Horatio Sanz was also a founding member of The Upright Citizen's Brigade.
A native of Chile, Sanz joined the
SNL cast in September of 1998, becoming a featured player about a year later. With a range of memorable impressions from Larry Flint to Meatloaf, Sanz was always a reliable player to keep audiences laughing. Bidding for big screen success with such efforts as
Road Trip (2000) and
Tomcats (2001), the
SNL funnyman geared up to take to the movies again in 2001 with
Boat Trip. He continued his status as a
Saturday Night Live cast member even as he attempted to stake out territory on the big screen. He took a small part in the Eugene Levy/Samuel L. Jackson comedy
The Man, and he had a large part opposite
Martin Lawrence in the family basketball comedy
Rebound. He had a large part in
Todd Phillips'
School for Scoundrels in 2006, the same year he appeared in Curtis Hanson's
Lucky You. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
