G-Rod was born Gabriel Rodriguez in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. As a child, he spent some time in South America and later the family would settle in the United States. He first discovered his interest in acting when he interviewed for a U.S. Border Patrol position wanting to follow in his father's footsteps. During the interview he was told they would start describing a job related scenario and he would have to explain how he would handle the situation. Instead, mistakenly, he began acting out the scenario in front of the interviewers. At the end, the director informed him he successfully passed, but in his 30 years of conducting interviews he had never seen someone act out the actions. It was during this time G-Rod realized acting was something he wanted to explore further. He began studying scenes from his favorite movies and even filmed them to entertain his friends and family. Afterwards, he decided he wanted to improve his acting skills and began attending classes with Lori Wyman and Marc Macaulay, an actor with over 30 years of experience as an actor in film & television projects. He began scene study work with Marc where they spent a great deal of time exploring acting techniques and on-camera execution. He also attended classes at the University Center of the Performing Arts in Davie, Fl and HB Studios in New York City. His work includes appearances in True Memoirs of an International Assassin, with Kevin James, 24: Legacy, alongside Corey Hawkins. He co-starred alongside Benjamin Bratt in MacGyver, The Walking Dead, Ballers opposite Rob Corddry, The Red Road with Jason Mamoa, Constantine, Graceland, and Burn Notice. He will also appear in the TV series Power, this Summer, and Orange is the New Black. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Jennifer Laykovich
