After his parents dissolved their marriage in September 1967, Bratt and his siblings traveled back and forth between California and Alcatraz because of his mother’s profession. Fortunately, the mobile lifestyle did not prevent the actor from continuing his academic career. He attended the prestigious Lowell High School in San Francisco and earned a B.F.A. from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1986. But before he could finish his M.F.A. program at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, Bratt left the theater to take a role in the television movie Juarez in 1987, which became his debut film.

His first television series – Nasty Boys – followed shortly after his debut in the industry. Some of the movies that put him in the spotlight were Miss Congeniality, Blood In Blood Out, and Traffic. It is worth noting that most of his characters may be Hispanic because of his looks. After taking the industry by storm in the 1990s, Bratt did not rest on his laurels. Since his return as Detective Curtis for Law & Order in 2009 and several other projects, the 2000s have been friendly to the actor.

To explore his horizons and invest more in film, Benjamin Bratt left the show the same year he made his comeback to concentrate on his film career. Among the films he worked on were The Lesser Blessed, with the voice of El Macho in Despicable Me 2, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, to name but a few.
