I’ve always been a theater actor, since I was young, it has always been my passion. It’s cathartic, therapeutic, it has a conscience and a key role in our history. And, it’s fun! I got involved in film and TV very late in life, at age 38 was my first movie, which came out of people knowing I was a stage actor. I said yes just out of curiosity, and then suddenly, years later I’ve been in over 40 films and tv shows.”

A role that transcends any pre-conceived notions about Mexicans and Latinos and is valued for its story and complexities, not for what it contributes to a narrow view of what being a Mexican is. I have had those in Mexico, but in the US I would love to be a part of a film that tells a fascinating story about a character that just so happens to be Mexican and is treated with respect and without stereotypes.”
