At a Glance
Yorlin Madera made his professional acting debut in the role
of Cristian Vega, a street-smart youth and talented artist. He
has had a rocky romance with girlfriend Jessica Buchanan,
but the two teens remain devoted to one another.
Born in the Dominican Republic, Yorlin moved to the United
States in 1983. Growing up, Yorlin was a fanatic of American
television comedies, and credits shows like "Gimme a Break"
and "Three's Company" for teaching him how to speak
English.
Yorlin attended school in New York City at the LaGuardia
High School of Performing Arts. During a spring drama
festival, Yorlin was spotted by his future agent and
immediately signed. One of his first professional jobs was
dancing in a fashion show with Michael Jackson. Yorlin then
went on to appear in a number of commercials, before joining
the cast of "One Life to Live."
When not working, Yorlin hangs out with his close-knit circle
of friends listening to jazz, bowling, playing pool and
attending poetry readings. Yorlin claims that he would have
pursued a career in baseball if he didn't succeed as an actor.
