Biography
Lidia Porto was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, on February 7, 1963. At age three, her mother was hired by the University of Houston, so the family moved to Texas. Porto learned English by memorizing the Velveteen Rabbit and singing along with the Lettermen. Because she attended school in Colombia, she speaks fluent Spanish and French.
She started acting at Dulles High School in Stafford, Texas, under professor Myrtis Brooks, who was born in the late 1800's. She has participated in several feature films, including Rocketman, Idiocracy, and Extract, and worked with Harry Connick, Jr. and Connie Britton in When Angels Sing: A Christmas Movie, which premiered March 10th at SXSW. Porto has also voiced characters in various anime series, including "Hello Kitty," and has been a working voice talent for many years. She is on the Board of Houston Playback Theatre and participates actively in Houston's diverse theatre and film production community.
