  • Trivia
    His big film break came with the substantial role of Manolo Ribera in Scarface (1983), even though he was a relatively unknown actor at the time. The producers were convinced that he was right for the role based on his strong audition, as well as his authentic Cuban background. His performance earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
  • Quotes
    If you look at 1983, the film of the year was 'Terms of Endearment.' 'Scarface' was lumped in under the gratuitously violent banner. I mean, we knew it was violent, that it depicted a violent time and place. But it wasn't the end-all of the thing.
