Originally from Brazil, Rafael Silva made his move to the USA at the age of 13. Initially, he wanted to follow in the family business, being a vet, but a high-school play changed his mind. Armed with a degree in Acting for Film, Television, Voice-Overs & Commercial from Pace University in Manhattan, he made his first primetime debut as Oscar Cortez in the series Madam Secretary in 2019. That same year, he also made his feature-film debut as Raul in the movie Fluidity with Nico Tortorella and Tommy Dorfman. From there, he landed the part of Darryl Silvanos in the web series The Corps in 2020, which describes itself as “If Veep and The Office had a baby on the floor of the White House Press Room.” We really get to know Rafael, however, in the FOX primetime series 9-1-1: Lone Star, where he plays Carlos Reyes, the love interest of Rob Lowe's character's son, played by the equally sexy Ronen Rubinstein. It doesn't take long for this golden boy to show us how his gym routine is totally working, as he goes for a roll in the hay with Ronen in episode two of the whole series. Anticipation is nice and all, but sometimes it’s just good to get those pecs and abs out there for the world to see, ogle, and admire. And Mr. Man will take just a minute to say that he’s glad Rafael a) came to the USA, and b) decided to work with cameras instead of cows.
