FERNANDO GAGO LOOKALIKE-SANTIAGO CABRERA PICSPAM

I'm bored. No footie since the Euros, and the leagues and Copa Libertadores are over for the season. All the transfer speculation & happenings are making me dizzy. I haven't seen Fernando Gago in a month. There's too long to wait until the Olympics. Dammit, but I need my Gago fix!!! So I bought the Season One DVD of the 'Heroes' TV series which I had heard so much about but never watched. OK, I'm hooked now. The Season Two DVD set won't be out until August 26th. *sigh* More waiting.

But in 'Heroes' there is this gorgeous Latino actor named Santiago Cabrera, who plays the part of Isaac Mendez, a comic book artist, who is one of the 'Heroes' who possesses a special power. When Isaac is on heroin (to which he is tragically addicted) he creates paintings that predict events in the future. Dark events, in which very bad things happen.

And Santiago Cabrera bears an uncanny resemblance to Fernando Gago. I am mesmerized. If you have not yet seen 'Heroes', please do yourself a favour and watch it!!! Especially if you like dark, tragic dramas that are more about the absorbing characters than the strange sci-fi events.

Below the cut is a brief bio of Santiago Cabrera and some pics of him and Fernando Gago. Enjoy!



Santiago Cabrera is a Chilean actor, born May 5, 1978 in Caracas, Venezuela. He actually played football and was involved in athletics before a teacher suggested he try acting. He starred in the 2006 film 'Love and Other Disasters' with Brittany Murphy, in which he plays a famous photographer's assistant from Argentina, and Brittany Murphy's character assumes he is gay! Needless to say, I ordered this movie from Amazon, watched it and loved him in it! Okay, so here's a picspam:

This is Santiago.

SPOILER WARNING: I got so pissed off because I started watching Heroes right before his character's demise!! Hopefully they will do some kind of flashback story that he can be involved in. The show is still great and I can't wait for the new season.

Oh dear! Never mind, Isaac was in it a LOT from the beginning, and after he died, during lots of flashbacks. After all, his paintings are key to the action. And in good news, I was watching an interview with him on YouTube where he admitted that he is in the cast for Season Three, but he doesn't know, of course, whether it will turn out that he is not really dead, or if he will be in flashbacks only, or if somehow Hiro will cause the future to be different and Isaac will not be killed.

I was so upset too, that the show would kill off my favourite character! But I held out hope that he would somehow be back.

OMG, I love Isaac so much too! But I don't think he is really dead. Or he is dead but Hiro will change the future so that Isaac won't be dead. After all, Hiro loves his comics, right? Since he is in them! LOL.

Also, in an interview, Santiago Cabrera said he was in the cast for Season Three! YAYZ!!!! More Isaac!!!
