About Luis Guzmán
Luis Guzmán (born August 28, 1956) is a Puerto Rican actor. His career spans over 40 years and includes a number of films and television series. He has appeared in Paul Thomas Anderson's films Boogie Nights (1997), Magnolia (1999) and Punch-Drunk Love (2002), and Steven Soderbergh's films Out of Sight (1998), The Limey (1999) and Traffic (2000).

For his role in The Limey, he received a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male. On television, he starred as Raoul Hernandez on the HBO prison drama Oz (1998–2000), José Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha on Narcos (2015), Jesse "Mama" Salander on the CBS medical drama Code Black (2015–2018), Alejandro "Guapo" Villabuena in Godfather of Harlem (2019), Hector Contreras on Perpetual Grace, LTD (2019), and Gomez Addams on Wednesday (2022–present). Their first son had died during childbirth, and that, alongside his frustration at social work, persuaded Guzmán to act full-time. Guzmán graduated from City College of New York, and shortly after began his career as a social worker, working as a youth counselor at the Henry Street Settlement.
