The King And I 1974

Hechter Ubarry

I was born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico and came to NYC at the age of three. Before graduating from the high school of Performing Arts, I was offered a job performing in a production of Bye Bye Birdie in San Antonio, Texas starring Raul Julia and eight weeks later was offered my first Broadway show, The Royal Hunt Of The Sun starring Christopher Plummer. I did various Broadway productions of Man Of La Mancha with the original cast: Richard Kiley, Joan Diener and Irving Jacobson. Other productions of La Mancha with other Don Quixotes were John Cullum, Jose Ferrer Robert Goulet would follow.
Film work includes The Cross And The Switchblade starring Pat Boone directed by Don Murray, two German/French films in Europe in which I spoke my lines in English and the other actors spoke their lines in their own language. McBain with Christopher Walken and his co-starring role as Rico the drug kingpin in Crocodile Dundee 2. I was a Confederate soldier in the musical Gone With The Wind. I've been doing cabaret shows for over ten years.
