I don't really consider myself to be an actor of any particular style. My aim with every role I undertake is to be truthful and honest in that particular portrayal. I don't have a particular methodology from any one school of thought or training.
I have always been of the mind that good work is good work, whether performed on stage, on television or in film and, like any reasonable actor, I keep my options open.
Just be loving. You also have to recognize that you need to take the focus off yourself and put it on your children to give them a proper start in life.
I find that most of us actors can't stand ourselves in any form.
I find myself enjoying a deeper love than I ever imagined was possible in the form of my daughter and certainly in the union with my wife. It makes everything else, including work, which is one of the things I'm most passionate about, pale by comparison.
On a national level there is a tendency to portray Latino culture as a monolithic entity, which is a really inaccurate way of seeing ourselves. There is as much diversity and uniqueness within the Latino culture as there is in any other kind of American culture.
As a person of color, there's no getting around the reality of its responsibility.
a wake-up call that reminds us to enjoy life for what it is. That's what I'm doing on both a conscious and subconscious level.
Jerry knew he had cancer when we worked together but he thought he was in complete remission,
Jerry is like the wizard behind the curtain. You never see him, but he's amazing at delegating responsibility to capable hands, and because of that, we've had a very good beginning for what I hope to be a long-running series.
That certainly taught me a lesson. I try to be gracious and kind to anyone who asks for an autograph.
My mother was born in Lima, Peru, and my father is American of primarily German and English descent. And as I understand it, Bratt is of English origin. People often ask me if it's a stage name. In fact, it is not.
I like to work on a character from the outside in.
I'm happy when I'm productive, ... And television allows you to do that.
