Diego Saporta is the father of musician Gabe Saporta.
As described by Gabe
- "As I get older and become more independent, I’ve grown to really respect my father. He was a doctor in Uruguay, but he saw that the country was going down the tubes and decided to come to America so that his children could have the chance at a better life.
- For over three years, we were here illegally, without a visa or a green card, so he couldn’t get a job or go to school. To make money, he sold scarves on the street. Finally when we got residency permits, he had to go back to school for 6 years (just because you’re a doctor in some bullshit third-world country, doesn’t mean you get to practice medicine here). And so I didn’t really see him until I was 11, when he finally opened up his practice.
- Then by the time I was 15, my parents got divorced. By the time I was 20 and the divorce was finally over, my father was left with nothing. But he just picked himself back up and started over again. The most important thing that he taught me (and really more by example than by explanation) is the value of integrity. No matter where you are in life, if you stick to your morals, work hard, and you’re an honest person, you will end up ok. Again, it’s kind of weird that I’m writing all of this, but whatever... Yeah, my dad’s a motherfucker. "
- -- "People You Admire," Gabe Saporta, 2003, Midtown’s website
In fanfiction, he is often paired with Travie McCoy or Tim Gunn.
