Early career
At age seven, Torre was a member of the Bacolod-based Masskara theater group ran by director Peque Gallaga, where his passion for acting started. He was the youngest member in the group which composed of 13 people. He then played a small role in Lino Brocka's Gumising ka, Maruja which was shot in Bacolod in 1978. A few years later, Gallaga tasked Torre to play a role for his 1982 film Oro, Plata, Mata.[6][7]
Personal life
Torre's middle name, Rizalino, comes from the fact that he was born exactly 100 years after Filipino national hero José Rizal.[8] Torre is married to Christy Azcona in 1990 and had a daughter together.
