As a huge movie fan, I cannot help but to include a page of my favorite actor... the extremely talented actor and extremely sexy man... Andy Garcia. There are not too many web pages regarding him as he is a man who likes to keep his off screen life private. Andy was born in Havana, Cuba on April 12, 1956. His family fled to Miami when Castro took power (Andy was 5 years old).
A Florida International University graduate, he moved to L.A. and eventually landed a part on the first episode of Hill Street Blues and then in 1989 in The Mean Season. 8 Million Ways to Die was the film that really introduced him to Hollywood.
He has been married for fifteen years to Maria Victora (who is also a Cuban immigrant) and they have three daughters, Dominik, Daniella, and Alessandra. He is probably known most for his roles in Things To Do in Denver When You're Dead, The Godfather Part III, and The Untouchables. In my opinion, he is one of the most under-rated actors of our time. He refuses to do nude scenes, as he says he prefers to let romance bloom in viewer's imaginations (I have defintiely done quite a bit of this!! *grins*). He has also resisted roles that might bring him megastar status, insisting that quality is his main concern.
