Anibal O. Lleras was born in Puerto Rico. He didn't graduate from high school, but studied drama all his life. He studied under Willian Hickey, Sandy Dennis and Ed Morehouse at HB studios for ten consecutive years, being one of Hickey's favourite students.Anibal's career went on the express lane ever since Robert De Niro gave it a little push, leading him to go to Hollywood and star in a film directed by Charlie Kangainis (No Escape No Return (1993)) in the role of Caesar, with John Saxon, Michael Nouri and Maxwell Caulfield and from then on he has appeared in many other Hollywood production.
