About Steven Bauer
Steven Bauer (born Esteban Ernesto Echevarría Samson; December 2, 1956) is an American actor. Bauer began his career on PBS, portraying Joe Peña, the son of Cuban immigrants on ¿Qué Pasa, USA? (1977–1979). He played Manolo "Manny" Ribera, the best friend and right-hand man of Cuban drug lord Tony Montana, in the 1983 crime drama Scarface, Don Eladio Vuente in Breaking Bad (2011) and in Better Call Saul (2017–2022), and the retired Mossad agent Avi Rudin in Ray Donovan (2013–2017). Bauer's maternal grandfather, whose family names were Samson and Bauer, was Jewish, and immigrated to Cuba from Germany, a refugee looking to escape the devastating effects World War II and Adolf Hitler had on his safety and home country. Bauer's family emigrated from Cuba to the United States on Independence Day, 1960, when he was three years old, shortly after the end of the Cuban Revolution, settling in Miami, Florida.
