Audiences are more drawn in to what they can relate to, so it would be stupid not to have great Latino films for the Latino audience.
I broke into acting doing Latino roles. I played a Latino casanova in 'The Winner' and a Latino character on 'Hannah Montana.'
I am Latino. I'm proud of being Latino. That's not to say I wouldn't love to see more diversity in casting. It's starting to get better but we are nowhere near where we need to be. But I'm not scared of playing Latinos, as long as they're well-drawn.
When I was growing up, I lived in a neighborhood that was largely Latino and I thought I was Latino!
Just because we finally have a Latino family on TV doesn't mean we're up there to lecture people about what it means to be Latino.
I feel so much pride to represent my community and be Latino. No doubt about it, above my career and sales being a Latino comes first.
It's interesting: I think, as a Latino actor, the biggest challenge is being called 'Latino' because immediately, the world has a perception of what that means.

Fox News Latino has a mission to point out the positives of the Latino population, operating within the framework of making America great.
The irony here is that the Latino left had criticized the conservative movement for years that they were not doing outreach to the Latino community. Now that the conservative movement is doing outreach and engaging in the Latino community on a national scale, they're criticizing us for that too. You can't have it both ways.
I don't want the Latino community to think I think the reason Latino films are not doing well is because of us. It is not fully our responsibility.
A lot of our so-called Latino leaders are gutless. I talk to these cry-baby Latino leaders, and they say they can't win elections until Latinos are a majority.
The White House is apparently pushing to create more Latino-themed landmarks. Now that's in addition to our current Latino-themed landmark, California.
Head Start is especially important to Latino children. Latino children make up more than one-third, 34 percent, of all those eligible for the program.
For me, the hardest thing was dropping the whole Latino comic title.
We gotta be proud to be Latino. It's almost like we cheating because we're American and we live by American customs, but at the same time, we got that Latino culture. We cheating; we double dipping.
