Early life
Pollack is the eldest of three children born to Enrique A. Pollack-Diehl and Dolores "Loly" Aguilar-Perna, both from very prestigious families. His mother is closely related to Santiago Rey Perna, signatory of the Cuban Constitution of 1940, and his father is related to the Rothschild banking family as well as being the nephew of the Duchess of Seville, María Luisa de la Torre y Bassave. Her heirs and the Pollacks are related to the current King of Spain, Juan Carlos de Borbon. He attended Pater Noster Preparatory School in Los Angeles, CA, University High School in West Los Angeles, CA, Miami Dade Community College, and Florida International University. He is also the firstborn great-grandson of Mark A. Pollack (1874–1946), the American-born patriarch of a wealthy Cuban tobacco dynasty and owner of the famous "La Mansion", a neo-classical mansion in the Cubanacan Section (aka Country Club section) of Havana built in 1930 by the Cuban architect, Leonardo Morales y Pedroso (1887–1965).

Politics and Recent Events
Pollack often appears on television shows due to his anti-Castro stance.

On April 16, 2004, the Cuban government officially protested to the United Nations about Pollack's actions in Geneva, after he placed posters protesting human rights violations in Cuba next to Communist Cuban posters on display in the main hall of the Human Rights Section of the United Nations Building in Geneva.

Pollack was a congressional aide to Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen from 1993 to 2006. He has also edited and produced two films, "Cuba Before Castro" and "The elegance that was Cuba before the Revolution". Both films have received hundreds of thousands of hits on YouTube and show a very different Cuba in the rare and vintage footage.
