Pro skater and actor Omar Salazar recently took part in a staged reading of The Indian Wants the Bronx by Israel Horovitz through The Actors Studio.
The experience became even more special for Salazar with Al Pacino, the studio’s president, also there.
Salazar said getting to perform, hang out, and talk with someone he has admired for years was one of the greatest experiences of his life.
He also thanked director Tracey R. Silver, his fellow actors, The Actors Studio members, his mentor Tony Greco, and his family for their support.
Sharing the experience with Pacino is something Salazar says he will never forget.

"Thank you to @theofficialactorsstudio for an unforgettable experience @thewallisbh .
Being part of the staged reading of The Indian Wants the Bronx by Israel Horovitz was already incredibly meaningful to me, but to share that experience with Al Pacino — someone I have looked up to for so many years — made it one of the greatest experiences of my life.
To be a member of the same organization, The Actors Studio, and to have Al Pacino there as its President, supporting the work, spending time with us, and getting the chance to talk and hang out with one of my heroes is something I’ll never forget.
A huge thank you to Tracey R. Silver for directing us and making this experience possible, and to my fellow actors Jay Charan and @conner.piers @eddienavarro7 and all of the Actors Studio members who helped bring this reading to life. Thank you also to Jennifer Pdula, Katherine Cortez, Helen Sanders, @renerivera2023, @thebrianfoyster, @francesfisher, @benmankiewicz and to my mentor and teacher Tony Greco. 🎭
And especially, thank you to my family for coming out to support me, and to all who came, thank you for your contribution to our event and showed love.
I’m incredibly grateful for this moment, this community, and an experience I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. ❤️
