Gonzalo Menendez knows more about being a working actor in Hollywood than just about anyone. With over eighty film and tv credits to his name, including giant TV shows like 24, Breaking Bad, and The Mentalist, as well as movies like The Dark Knight Rises, Fantastic Four, and Blow, he’s worked with some of the biggest names in the biz, all while juggling duties as husband, dad, and all round good guy. You might know him as the Cuban gangster Clavo Cruz from CSI: Miami, we’ll just call him by his real name—it’s a big After Hours welcome to Mr. Gonzalo Menendez.

If Hollywood wants me to be a guest star on any number of shows, then that’s what I’m gonna be. And I’m gonna be as good of a guest star as I can possibly be.Gonzalo Menendez
