And here's the reason why: I have a 100% Latin background (parents are both Cuban and I was born in Cuba myself), yet I have blonde hair and green eyes; I am fully fluent in English and Spanish and speak, read and write in both languages with equal ease. The comment I get most often from people who don't know me when they hear me speak Spanish is, "What, you're Spanish?" And while I only nod yes and smile, I think to myself, "Yes, we do come in all different colors, you know." LOL.
So I, for one, am glad to see that they're using Guy in that particular role -- it serves as a reminder that maybe I'm not such an oddball after all.
P.S. I don't know whether Guy will be making any further appearances as Det. Luis Pérez in "Las Vegas" -- I'll have to check on that and keep the forum updated.
