across the show’s six seasons, and through that new opportunity, was able to make his dream of becoming a director a reality.When I came home from Puerto Rico, I auditioned for potential roles inloved me for the role of Mike, who later became Miguel.

There are a lot of opportunities on that front, and I’ve already booked a couple of jobs directing for network TV. I’ve been working for 15 years straight as an actor sincewithout a break, so that’s what I’m focusing on.
