GABRIEL ARGATE
Actor — Singer — Producer
Hi there!
My name is Gabe - I am a proud Filipino performer based in the New Jersey/NYC area. Welcome to my humble abode! (this website, of course)
Aside from being a passion, I view performing as an opportunity to represent the vibrant communities I am a part of: Asian American, plus-sized, and LGBTQIA+. You can say I’m a triple threat.
As powerful as claiming these identities is, there are other parts of myself I want people to also see. On a personal level, I have been described as warm, comical, authentic, and bold - attributes I am proud to have. As someone who in the past has oftentimes felt overlooked, I want to be able to show those similar to me that they deserve to not only be seen for who they are, but celebrated for their individuality.
What’s new with little ol’ me?

NOVEMBER 2025
Spent the holiday season in Massachusetts playing Mrs. Bumbrake/Teacher in FPAC’s production of Peter and the Starcatcher! I was very excited to dive into this Tony Award-winning play and let our imagination run wild. As someone who loves portraying eccentric characters, bringing Mrs. Bumbrake to life certainly did not disappoint.
PAST
OCTOBER 2025
In celebration of Filipino American Heritage Month, I recently produced and sang in “Filipinos on Broadway” at 54 Below! Representation matters, which is why I wanted to create a show that gives the spotlight to a community I am truly proud to be a part of. The concert featured an all-Filipino cast of Broadway performers and up-and-coming artists; it was an unforgettable night of beloved music and remarkable talent!

This past spring, I was given the opportunity to be a part of Healing Voices: Caregiver Stories on Stage presented at McCarter Theatre. Every year, McCarter receives hundreds of stories, poems, and other personal writings about caregiving, and selected pieces are performed in a special reading by professional actors. I was so honored to bring to life some of the most moving pieces regarding the caregiver experience.
