Quotes
Embarrassing moments? I can't remember many... Back in 2004, my agent put me forward for a number of roles in Goal! convinced that I would have a good chance to be considered for one of them. Goal! Trilogy has been produced and filmed largely in England, and there aren't that many true Mexican actors based down here. So imagine how I felt, when my agent told me that I wasn't called for an audition because the English casting director thought that I didn't look Mexican. Since the first part of Goal! was released last year, I have been mistaken for Kuno Becker several times. Well, make up your mind, Lucinda
