Mapa’s TV credits are many, with guest appearances including NYPD Blue, The Cosby Show, Dharma Greg (above), and lots of others. Some of his largest roles were on Half Half (on which he was also a writer), Ugly Betty as Suzuki St. Pierre and on Desperate Housewives, as personal shopper Vern. Most recently, he’s appeared on ABC Family’s Switched At Birth.
Mapa is a veteran of stage as well. His first big break came when he took over for B.D. Wong during the Broadway production of M. Butterfly. You can see the actor take flight in his show aboard the Pride of Hawaii cruise ship, above. When it comes to performing on cruises, Mapa : “On the Atlantis cruises and Rosie cruises; it’s great, but they’re two completely different experiences. On the Rosie cruise, there are children and on the Atlantis, they act like children.”
When he’s not showcasing his classically-trained acting chops, Mapa does just fine charming viewers himself. He’s held hosting duties for shows like Transamerican Love Story, Dancing With Dogs and Gossip Queens. Check out his guest appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race, above.
In 2005, Mapa was presented with GLAAD’s Davidson/Valentini Award, which is given to an openly LGBT individual who has made a significant difference in promoting equal rights. Mapa also appeared in a GLAAD PSA about anti-LGBT language and the power of words.
Mapa and his husband Jamie Hebert married in 2008. Together they adopted a five year old boy. Their experience parenting is the source material for much of Mapa’s upcoming Showtime comedy special Baby Daddy, premiering June 12.
