Biography |
Mark Consuelos (born March 30, 1970 in Zaragoza, Spain) is a
television and film actor.
Consuelos was born in Zaragoza, Spain to parents of Mexican
ancestry. His father was known to be a delegate, which is
why he was born in Spain. Consuelos has lived in Italy and
in the United States since childhood. Before deciding on
acting, he graduated from the University of South Florida
with a degree in marketing.
He had played small parts on television series before
landing the role of Mateo Santos on the soap opera All My
Children in early 1995. He fell in love with his on-screen
love interest, Kelly Ripa, and married her in May 1996. Both
of them continued to tape episodes of the show until 2002,
when Kelly wished to focus more on her other job, hosting a
talk show. Ripa and Consuelos have three children, Michael
Joseph (born 1997), Lola Grace (born 2001), and Joaquin
Antonio (born 2003).
Since leaving All My Children, Consuelos has started work on
movies and miniseries. The one that's received the most
press coverage, The Great Raid, debuted in theatres in 2005.
He can currently be seen on the series Missing, which is
shown on the Lifetime cable network. |
