Merlin Santana was named Merlin by his mother. He had said that she had difficulty giving birth to him and that it was a "miracle like magic that he was born okay." The 26 year old New York City native of Dominican descent began his acting career as a model at 3 years of age and had his break appearing on "The Cosby Show" as Stanley. He had earned nominations for the NAACP Image Awards and ALMA Awards, which honor Hispanic performers, for his role as the sexy ladies man "Romeo Santana" on ``The Steve Harvey Show.''
