To Tessie,
My hats off to you chica! Your portrayal in the Lifetime Television movie “Break-In” was superb! As usual, you have delighted your fans with another great acting performance. (Pictured below is actor Todd Babcock and of course actress Tessie Santiago)
In the made for television movie, Tessie plays Joanie, the sister of the main character Cameron. Cameron happens to be on his honeymoon with his new bride Marla at a secluded hill-top hacienda on the island of San Carlos. As a surprise to his new bride, Cameron invites his sister Joanie and her husband Parker to spend the last night with them on the island as a way to help them celebrate their new life together.
Then the two couples nightmare begins. Val, Ria and Angel break into the house in search of a safe which supposedly contains 10 million dollars. The tenents are surprised by the would-be thieves and are taken hostages.
The three assailants begin to question Cameron, Marla, Joanie and Parker about the money. None of the house guests know anything about it. That's when the fun begins for the hostages. They are subjected to cruel punishments with a lot of gun waving.
On top of their misfortune, Cameron, Marla, Joanie and Parker along with Val, Ria and Angel get trapped in the house when a hurricane hits the island of San Carlos leaving all the occupants stranded inside to ride out the storm. Adding to the assailants worries to get out of the house with the money and off the island is Inspector Raddimus, a violent and crimes police officer who works on the island.
More games ensue between all the individuals, with lots of high tension, stressful situations, murder and unknown truths. The storyline of the movie was good and it kept me glued to my chair until the movie was over. There is a nice twist at the end of the movie. I won't give away the ending, so trust me that the movie is really good!
Cameron is played by actor Eric Winter, Marla is played by actress Kelly Carlson, Val is played by Marc Kudisch, Ria is played by Mercedes Renard and Inspector Raddimus is played by actor Carlos Ponce.
Tessie has some wonderful scenes in the movie. She is paired opposite actor Todd Babcock who plays her husband Parker. There are some good scenes of Tessie acting drunk (a first for her), Tessie acting as a seductress, Tessie cooking in the kitchen, Tessie acting scared and Tessie acting brave! She played many facets in this movie and it really brought out her talent as an actress.
Tessie did a great job with her made for television movie role. She proved that she is a versatile actress. I would like for her to make the big leap into motion pictures one day. It would be wonderful for her fans to see her on the big screen!
Again, congrats Tessie on your performance in “Break-In”. Kudos for a job well done!

I subscribed to a Celebrity Locator and found Tessie's contact information. I wrote a letter to Tessie via her Management Representatives and received a lovely response from Tessie. After many inquiries from her fans about how to contact her, I decided to take my chance and write her a letter praising Tessie for her work as an actress and humbly requesting an autographed picture. I was thrilled when I saw an return postage paid envelope. Tessie was gracious and responded to my letter. She sent me a personally signed letter and autograph. The letter notes that she is well aware of my website tribute to her and she is very happy with it. I was touched by her remarks. I'm happy to know that she appreciates my work and effort in maintaining the website. I have attached images of the letter and photograph below.
Thank you Tessie for your response. I wish you lots of continued success in all of your endeavors.
