Luis Antonio Ramos and Luis Guzman on the set of HBO’s “How to make it in America” shooting in NYC. You get to see behind the scenes footage only here on Latino Film Chatter.
When I talk with Luis Antonio Ramos on the phone or even when we are chilling, he always calls himself a “Been around guy” guys like himself, Luis Guzman, Jaime Tirelli, and I could mention more but you get the point, these guys have been in this game for over 20 years!
I was even making that point with Luis Guzman the other day, we were discussing the sitcom “COMMUNITY” and how in the episode Luis was being honored at Greendale Community college. This is on prime time NBC and as I watch the show it hits me, the first time I ever saw Luis Guzman was on “Miami Vice” on NBC over 20 years ago.
Now I watched this show and see how full circle life is and how back then Luis was doing his first official acting gig, 20 plus years later “Community” on NBC dedicated an entire episode to Luis Guzman. He’s never in the show physically but we do see a statue of him at the end.
I’m sure he’d love to get that statue and put it in front of his house in Vermont.
Well the whole purpose of the story really was about “Been around guys” in the acting game, Luis Ramos is no slouch in this department either. He’s been a Lead in several TV shows (Early Edition CBS, Martin FOX, Huntress USA) on various networks. Yet Luis Ramos and Luis Guzman never really knew each other. They knew of each other but just weren’t cool like that.
I came to find this out cause I hang out with both and would talk about each other to both Luis’ I know it is getting confusing, lol bueno the thing is now they are friends because I introduced them to each other. Two Boricuas from New York doing their thing in the arts.
Luis Ramos was good enough to capture some of their day on the set, for us here on Latino film chatter. The been around guys that now can’t seem to stop crossing paths have been very supportive of Latino Film Chatter and I thank both Luis Ramos for always stepping up for the site, and to Luis Guzman bro what can I say except “I loved you in Ghost”
