    One of my favorite actors in Mayans MC. He always performs with so much passion. Just found out about his past. No wonder he's such a great actor, this guy lived a similar lifestyle to his character on the show! I'm glad he's on a better path now.

      I grew up around 27th street ( low bottoms) around the 90’s and lived my teenage years in south East LA (Norwalk) early 2000’s. With that being said, I can’t count how many amazing souls got brain fogged to this culture. I once was in his shoes and understand the pain as well, but most importantly it’s the other amazing souls I met in the neighborhoods who had so much talent go to waste due to gang violence or drugs. A very few doing life. we always talked about being something “one day”, but we never really knew what first step to take because the hood lifestyle was always FIRST. Now as a 38 year old dad, I hope that
