Rick is of Puerto Rican and Dominican origin and was reared in New York by his parents, who met in Washington D.C. before settling in Brooklyn. Rick’s parents divorced after more than ten years of marriage, and Rick went on to spend five days a week with his mother and two days with his father – he often recalls how difficult it was to go from and to their flats, but he enjoyed that he could spend time with both of them.
He went to both elementary and high school in Brooklyn and began acting at a young age, performing for his family and participating in school plays. His teachers persuaded him to pursue a career in acting and encouraged him to enroll at the High School of the Performing Arts in Manhattan, where he was admitted and graduated with a degree in acting in 1997.

They married in 2013, and Sherry, who has remained out of the spotlight, gave birth to their daughter on July 26, 2013.
Rick is quite close to his wife and their daughter, and he frequently posts photos of them together on his Instagram account, such as the one he posted on Christmas with the caption, ‘Around this time of year, I get a little mushy.’ I embrace my kid even closer, kiss my wife even longer, and look forward to another year filled with them, love, and happiness.’
