Notes

This is the kind of project I became an actor for. Daniel Sawka captures the very current issue of Immigrant children in detention by ICE. I’m proud of the passionate work everyone did on this film. My own approach was to play Manuel with the respect that character demands, to support Daniel’s vision, and to be present and supportive to the young actor, Anthony Gonzales, who carries the film with his tremendous natural talent. I’ve always been honored to play characters who share similar life journeys to mine. As an immigrant and believer in empathy, compassion, love and respect, I am always up to the challenge when art has to comment on current social issues. #FamiliesBelongTogether
