He was born in 1955 in New York City, New York.
Originally trained as a concert pianist, de la Peña switched to ballet while studying at the High School for the Performing Arts in New York City.
He joined American Ballet Theatre in the 1970s, rapidly rising to soloist.
De la Peña began acting when he was cast as Vaslav Nijinsky in Herbert Ross's film Nijinsky (1980), and for some time thereafter, he was typecast in Russian roles.
While living in Los Angeles during the 1980s, he performed in Cats and various regional productions.
His film and television credits include Personal Best (1982), a failed 1989 TV pilot based on the film The Flamingo Kid, Kuffs (1992), Brain Donors (1992), Mighty Aphrodite (1995), One Last Dance (2003), and guest appearances on shows such as L.A. Law and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

In a 1983 interview in the New York Times, an exasperated de la Peña, who is of mixed Russian and Argentinian descent, pointed out that producers thought he was not a native English speaker.
He appeared on Broadway in Woman of the Year, the revival of On Your Toes, the notorious flop The Red Shoes (Drama Desk Award nomination), and Chronicle of a Death Foretold (Drama League Award).
By 1985, de la Peña and his then-wife, ballerina Rebecca Wright had both left ABT and moved to California.
