Felix Pire is a character actor in films such as: Phat Girlz (Nnegest Likke, dir.), 12 Monkeys (Terry Gilliam, dir.), Dear God (Garry Marshall, dir.), and It's My Party (Randal Kleiser, dir.). On television, he appeared as a series regular on CBS's Matt Waters, and performed guest-starring roles on ABC's Gideon's Crossing and NYPD Blue, and NBC's The Rerun Show. His breakthrough performance in the multi-character one-man show Men on the Verge of a His-Panic Breakdown (by Guillermo Reyes), earned him a Best Actor nomination, and a Best Play in a Smaller Theatre Award at the 1995 Los Angeles Ovation Awards, and the 1997 New York Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Solo Performance for its Off-Broadway production, as well as accolades from The New York Times, The Village Voice, and The New Yorker Magazine.
