What Happened To Santiago Cabrera After Star Trek: Picard?

:0:1

Summary

Santiago Cabrera played Captain Cristóbal Rios in the first two seasons of Star Trek: Picard.
Since Picard's second season, Cabrera has appeared in various projects such as Godmothered, The Flight Attendant, and Undone, and participated in the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Captain Rios is unlikely to return to Star Trek due to his decision to stay in the past and live out his days with Dr. Ramirez and her son.

Santiago Cabrera stars in the first two seasons of Star Trek: Picard as the mysterious Captain Cristóbal (‘Cris’) Rios and his assorted alter-ego holograms. Joining Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in season one as the rugged yet haunted Captain-pilot of La Sirena, Rios was instrumental in helping the “decidedly motley” rag-tag crew fight for and save the synthetic beings of the planet Coppekius from a Romulan attack in Picard season 1, simultaneously tackling some heavy personal emotional scarring in the process. In Picard season 2, now captain of the USS Stargazer, Rios joins Jean-Luc and his crew to travel back in time to prevent a dark, dystopian alternate reality from being realized.
Santiago Cabrera, a Venezuela-born Chilean-British actor, previously appeared on the BBC's Lancelot in Merlin and as Aramis in The Musketeers. He starred as Isaac Mendez in Heroes, a troubled artist who captures visions of the future in his paintings, appearing alongside Star Trek actors Zachary Quinto and Greg Grunberg (from J.J. Abrams’ Kelvin-verse movies). He had a role in Haven (with Zoé Saldana) in 2004, Transformers: The Last Knight in 2016, and starred as Darius Tanz in CBS’ 2017 Salvation. Though Cabrera’s Star Trek character is unlikely to make a comeback in subsequent series, the actor has been busy with a variety of projects since Star Trek: Picard’s notable second season.
