Silvio Horta
Creator of “Ugly Betty”
WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW HIM? The Cuban-American artist has brought UglyBack by adapting the South American telenovela “Yo Soy Betty La Fea” into the queer-enthused hit primetime series, “Ugly Betty”.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN HIM... Accepting his show’s Golden Globe this year for Best Comedy Series in front of 20 million Americans.
ON GIVING MINORITIES A MAINSTREAM VOICE... “I was really excited to do a show with a Latino family, different than you usually see on TV. We're also one of the gayest shows on television -- which is, in my opinion, a great compliment. I love the diversity of these characters and this cast.”
ON WORKING WITH AMERICA’S SWEETHEART, AMERICA FERRERA... “What can I say about America? She is the heart of the show - wonderful to work with and extremely talented… There's a little bit of Betty in all of us.”
YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW... Before writing the teen satirical hit slasher film “Urban Legend”, Horta worked as a perfume spritzer. (Boy-oh-boy, has this writer extraordinaire come a long way!)
Congrats on this morning's Emmy nominations, Silvio. You and your fag-tabulous show deserve all of this and more!
