“I always want to try to bring something fresh to every single role.”

“I feel like I've been very fortunate to have a long career and to have been able to do a lot of different things.”

“Being a Latino actor, there's a certain responsibility to represent your community in a positive light.”

“I'm from L.A., so I'm a huge Lakers fan.”

“I think the thing about 'Magnum' is that it has this escapism quality to it. It's a fun show, it's beautiful, it's set in Hawaii.”

“As an actor, you're always looking for a role that's not only interesting but something you can sink your teeth into.”

“For me, it's not about being the biggest star in the world, it's about doing good work.”

“I just want to keep working and doing things that are interesting to me and that I'm proud of.”

“Growing up, I didn't see a lot of people who looked like me on screen, so it's important for me to be a part of telling diverse stories.”

“I've always tried to be very conscious of the roles I've taken. I want to play characters that are complex and that have something to say.”

“It's a trip to be on a show that's so iconic. It's a lot of pressure, but it's a lot of fun.”
