From his participation in CityKids, Santiago graduated to film, acting as "Raúl Sanchero" in 1995's Dangerous Minds.
By 1996, he was co-starring alongside some other, well known Hollywood actors. That year, he played "Ramόn Sánchez", a.k.a. the "Phantom Phreak" in Hackers. He also played "Mickey" in Daylight.
