Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Xavier Torres embarked on his professional journey at the tender age of 15, initially working as a talent material for commercials and publicity campaigns. As his popularity and interest in the entertainment industry continued to grow, he became increasingly drawn to acting as a viable career option.
Seeking to expand his opportunities, Torres relocated to Miami, where he landed roles in the feature films "Quiéreme Mucho" and "La Cocina", as well as starring in Telemundo's original series "Decisiones", which aired in Latin America. In 2006, he received his first chance to break into the Anglo-Saxon market with a starring role in the Lifetime Television Network movie "Break In". In this film, he played the character of "Angel", a young thief who kidnaps a group of tourists vacationing in the Caribbean. Xavier worked alongside Kelly Carlson of the popular TV series "Nip/Tuck" and the well-known Latin actor and singer Carlos Ponce.
His performance in "Break In" opened up new doors and piqued the interest of Hollywood agents and managers.

Austin. In the movie, he played the role of "Javier", a windsurfing instructor who attempts to charm "Alex" while she's on vacation with her family. The movie was the most-watched telecast of 2009, with 11.4 million viewers on opening night, and the second most viewed Disney movie after "High School Musical 2".
