Have you ever played a bad guy? If so, do you prefer it to playing the good guy?
Yes, and I love it. You have to go into your shadow and dive into the scariest parts of yourself. I’ve always been a big daredevil. Love daring to be bold!
How do you get into the role of your character? Is your process different for voice-over work as opposed to a live role?
I always look for a hook and usually it’s my first thought right after I read the material. Like, I just read this screenplay and the first thing I thought was “this is a cat and mouse game.” I then went through the script and played with the moments where I’m the mouse and the moments when I become the cat. This will now inspire me with lots of ammunition for rehearsals.
Is there or has there ever been anything else in your life other than acting?
Dancing feeds my soul. I was once part of a professional modern dance company and [competitive] salsa. I’ve studied belly dancing, flamenco, Bollywood, tango, hip-hop, you name it. Dancing has always been my drug of choice!
What would you say it’s like trying to date in the acting business? Some actors say it’s easier and some say it’s harder than dating in any other business.
Yes, it’s different for everyone. There is good and bad. Someone in the business can be very understanding but could be competitive. Someone outside the business can be a breath of fresh air from the work but could be jealous and possessive about “love” scenes. For me that person has to love, support, and accept who I am, and being an artist is part of the package.
Do you try to help upcoming actors, or are you just focused on your own career at the moment?
I’ve taken many actors under my wing throughout the years. I also volunteered at SAG, served on the EEOC and Latino subcommittee, and chaired the committee responsible for the first SAG study "Missing in Action, Latinos in and out of Hollywood" in conjunction with the Thomas Rivera Institute. It’s too hard to do it alone. You need a community where you can feed and feed others.
Now to end this on a lighter note, care to share with us the moment that most made you feel proud of yourself.
From time to time I get these crazy ideas to take on something that will make me feel like a superhero. I’ve ran marathons, been skydiving, zip-lining through the jungle, white-water rafting, and most recently jumped from a cliff down a waterfall in Costa Rica. I usually throw my arms up in the air and scream “I did it!” That’s when I’m most proud.
En “una noche y media” también descubrimos a “Visa”, un personaje divertido, controversial y picante que concientiza a las masas utilizando “su candidatura presidencial”; nos habla de temas actuales, de inmigración y política.
Las artistas de Alcamay Entertainment (quien produce “una noche y media web show”) llevaron a cabo un tour del mismo nombre en el 2011, ambas han anunciado que este continuara muy pronto.

Valentine's Day started in the time of the Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, February 14th was a holiday to honor Juno, the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses, also known as the Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia.
The lives of young boys and girls were strictly separate. However, one of the customs of the young people was name drawing. On the eve of the festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl's name from the jar and would then be partners with the girl whom he chose for the duration of the festival. Sometimes the pairing of the children lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall in love and would later marry.
The pastors of the early Christian Church in Rome endeavored to do away with the pagan element in these feasts by substituting the names of saints for those of maidens. And as the Lupercalia began about the middle of February, the pastors appear to have chosen Saint Valentine's Day for the celebration of this new feaSt. So it seems that the custom of young men choosing maidens for valentines, or saints as patrons for the coming year, arose in this way.
