Lights, camera… wait—who let me hold a microphone in front of this lineup?! 😏🎤 Presented an award at the Mexican-American Film & TV Festival @mexamcef with the incredible @soniabalcazar —trying to act like I belong while casually sharing air with legends like @andygarcia , @thepaulrodriguez , and stars like @paulinafchavez and @victoriadelrosal . No pressure, right? 😅 Big gratitude to @drruizproductions for the invite—moments like this remind me why we do it. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready… especially when they hand you a mic and say “go be charming.” #MexicanAmericanFilmFestival #FilmFestivalLife #RedCarpetMoments #ActorLife #OnStage AwardPresenter HollywoodNights LatinoHollywood RepresentationMatters FilmIndustry ActorsOfInstagram WorkingActor Grateful Blessed StayReady EntertainmentIndustry HollywoodEvents LAActors CinemaLife BehindTheScenes StageLife LivingTheDream CareerMoments IGReels ReelItFeelIt

🎥 Proud to share the poster for The Dreamer Cinderella, starring @tarareid @ptothejohan @anakarenchable @victoriadelrosal @thepaulrodriguez @rylierdz and a host of other incredibly talented cast. @drruizproductions wrote, produced and directed this beautiful story alongside @widmanproducer and brilliantly cast by (and acted in) @christianrodrigomuro - you’re all family. A story about reinvention, resilience, and chasing the dream—no matter when you start. 🎬 In theaters January 23 Can’t wait for you all to see this one. @dreamercinderellafilm

A special shout out to my season 5 cast, the hottest 🔥 cast to ever grace the shores of @turksandcaicos_official (or a Times Square Jumbotron, apparently) Watching your corporate and individual journeys has been as entertaining as being with you all on the yacht. Thanks to the fellas in particular for all the IG banter 😂 Enjoy LA! Huge thanks to @fremantleuk and @netflixuk and @netflix here at home for making my @toohotnetflix experience so memorable. 🙏🏻

POV: you thought waking up exhausted was normal. 😴 Tried zzZ Tape for a few nights and now I get why people swear by it. Sleeping deeper. Waking up clearer. Actually feeling recovered in the morning. 👀 Small habit. Massive difference. #Reels #InstagramReels #Sleep #SleepRecovery #Wellness

🎞️ Grateful doesn’t even cover it. Being part of Thumbprint @thumbprint.film was something special—real story, real weight, and a vision that hits different. Sharing the screen with @yuji_okumoto (Yuji Okumoto – Karate Kid II, Cobra Kai) and a cast full of killers pushed me to elevate my game in every scene. That’s what happens when you’re surrounded by real talent—you rise or you get exposed. Nothing but respect for this team. @chrisnaokilee executed an incredible vision. This one’s going to leave a mark. — Starring: @steveterada @officialtroybaker @yuji_okumoto @mikimou5e @thejonohye @winter_bassett @anthonywpreston @jesselnoir @yukisakamoto1102 @cdevact @idontnoah @mysokellife — Crew: DP @matt.hoodhood Art @theemmakoh_pd HMU @kao_makeupfx Wardrobe @lucysong UPM @reddcoltrane 1st AD @andypkovac — Produced by: @the_brian_takahashi_ @ipernicus @summermariethomas @chrisnaokilee

This one’s got real horsepower behind it. From lens to pavement—capturing legends in motion, where stories aren’t scripted… they’re driven. 🎬🏁 Sun beating down, engines cooling off, and the kind of conversations you can’t fake. Street legends aren’t made in studios. They’re built out here.

In a world that won’t slow down, stand still long enough to be seen.

🎬 Instagram Reel Caption: Always a full-circle moment when paths cross again in this industry. Had the chance to reconnect with Saul Mejia @mr.pc2020 @businessthisweek2020 on the red carpet at the Mexican-American Film & Television Festival @mexamcef after first meeting him at the premiere of The Dreamer Cinderella during our relief event. From that first conversation to this latest one, the energy stayed the same—genuine, enthusiastic, and rooted in a real love for storytelling. Moments like this remind me how important the media is—not just in telling great stories, but in helping amplify voices and journeys like mine. Grateful for the continued support and for people like Saul who truly show up with passion. I should also mention that he remembered how I treated his mother at the premiere of @dreamercinderellafilm - healthy reminder as to why it’s always important to treat people well; certain echelons of the world are too small.

Had the privilege of sitting down with director Robert Diaz LeRoy today—one of those meetings that reminds you why you show up, stay ready, and keep doing the work. We first connected at the Mexican-American Film & Television Festival @mexamcef where I had the honor of presenting—and after watching him speak, it was clear this was someone moving with purpose, vision, and real intention behind the stories he’s telling. Thanks to @drruizproductions for the endorsement. Grateful he took the time to connect, share, and talk through what’s ahead. Those moments of genuine conversation, mutual respect, and creative alignment don’t get lost on me… helps that he’s a huge car guy. Looking forward to what we build next. 🎬

📸 Red carpet to backstage—then straight into the moment. 🎬 Honored to present at the Mexican American Film and Television Festival @mexamcef and spend time behind the scenes with legends and rising stars alike—@andygarcia and @paulinafchavez Nights like this remind me… it’s not just about being seen—it’s about being part of something that matters. Thanks @drruizproductions for inviting me to be a part. Lights up. Let’s work. 🎤✨

🎥 Ran into my guy @taylornapier89 at the gym today… and just like that, time folded in on itself. Last time we were together, we were on set shooting Letter From The Heart (Amazon Prime) with the lovely @katfaraway — the 3 of trying to look like we knew exactly what we were doing… Now this man’s out here leveling up, doing his thing on @wheel.of.time.series with @mspike and I’m just over here trying to survive leg day and pretending I don’t need a nap between sets. Real talk though — nothing better than running into good people who are still grinding, still growing, still chasing it at the highest level. Proud of you, brother. 👊 Y’all go show him some love and check him out — he’s out here putting in WORK. And next time we link… maybe not mid-workout so I don’t look like I just lost a fight with a treadmill.
