We had the good fortune of connecting with Abe López and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Abe, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Consistency. If you have a dream or a goal in life, go get it and never quit! I’m a true believer in, “If a door closes on you, keep knocking on others and never lose hope.”

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I started modeling back in 2021. After wrapping up my first photoshoot session with the photographer, he asked me how long was I doing this. He wouldn’t believe that it was my first time. He expressed that I was a natural fit modeling and encouraged me to keep doing it, so I did.

My acting career also started back in 2021.
It started when I wrote a story that I intended to make as a movie script. I also wanted to play one of the characters in the script.
After showing it and talking to a family member who is very familiar with the acting industry, she encouraged me to publish my story as a novel because a lot of movies are based on books, so I did.
After publishing my first novel, I thought to myself, “If I ever want to play a character in my story, I have to start acting.” So I began to search for small casting calls here in the DFW area.
I’ve been featured in five featured films, which four of them are under production.
I’ve been casted a an extra and background actor for the well- known TV Series, ‘The Chosen’.
I’ve done several commercials here in Texas and out of state as well.
It hasn’t been easy having to achieve these opportunities by yourself. But as you continue giving 100% and having the opportunity to meet other actors, producers, directors, etc., you get recognized and sometimes even referred by them.
It’s been a dream come true.
I still have so much to learn and I just want the people that are thinking of becoming a model or an actor to know that it is possible.
You just have to believe in yourself and never take ‘no’ for an answer.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost, I want to thank God. Without Him, nothing would be possible. I would also like to thank María Luisa Sivitilli for helping me through the process in training me and prepping for the 2022 A-List Showcase Event.
