Horatio Sanz was born on June 4, 1969, in Santiago, Chile, and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He was one of the Upright Citizen Brigade's founding members and performed with Chicago's Second City comedy troupe.

When he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live as a featured player at the beginning of the 24th season, he became the long-running sketch comedy show's first Latino cast member. He appeared along with fellow featured players Jimmy Fallon and Chris Parnell, and after only one season, the three were promoted to cast members. On the show, Horatio played the characters Frankie Hilbert on the sketch "Boston Teens", pothead Gobi on the recurring sketch "Jarret's Room", and A/V teacher Mr. Banglian on "Wake Up, Wakefield."

Horatio has had many minor but memorable roles in movies since 1994. However, his big break came in 2003 with his first starring role in the movie Boat Trip, in which he appeared along with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Vivica A. Fox. He continued to star on Saturday Night Live until 2007.

Since departing from Saturday Night Live, he has appeared in many films and television shows, including "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," "Modern Family," "Wreck-It Ralph," "Bojack Horseman," "Drunk History" and more.

In 2015, he started his own podcast called The Hooray Show, which features comedy sketches and interviews with his friends in comedy.
