RAFAEL SILVA in Entertainment Weekly’s “Latinx Stars on What Brings Them Joy” for Hispanic Heritage Month - October 2022 | [Link]
One of the leading men of 911: Lone Star, Rafael L. Silva loved seeing Javier Bardem "do his thing" in the 2010 psychological thriller Biutiful for several reasons. One being that it is the very talented Bardem in the role of a father who just wants to take care of his family, but also because it is a great film with a Latinx lead, which is still a rarity. "I feel like I'm on top of the world," he says about seeing Latinx actors as leads in movies and on TV. It doesn't happen nearly enough, but he absolutely loves to see it.
