As a Latino growing up in Spanish harlem, it's not easy trying not to be hot-headed.

I really love the karate thing I did on CHIPs. I studied with a trainer because I knew we'd do episodes that had karate.

I never rode a motorcycle before CHiPs.

I do get a lot of mail. I get a lot of foreign mail because my mail gets mixed with Emilio Estevez.

I like working with an actor who doesn't do the oneupmanship. One who has no trick and gives a true, honest performance.

My grandfather taught me generosity. He sold snow cones in Harlem. I went with him at 5 and he let me hand out the change and snow cones. I learned a lot in the couple of years that we did that.

I grew up in New York in an English-speaking environment.
