I haven't gotten labeled as a Hispanic actor.

I like to consider myself an actor who just happens to be Hispanic.

I'm finding that I'm working with more and more Latino artists, and that's exciting.

I grew up in an environment with virtually no Hispanics where you see only people in your culture in custodial jobs. I had a messed up image of what we bring to this nation. My father was known as a pioneering figure in Cuban music, but I still associated him with everything that was negative in my neighborhood. I could not have been more mistaken.

I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist.

I'm proud of my background, so I hope there will be more roles where Hispanics are being portrayed.

Even though I'm Hispanic, I'm so white.
