“That Guy” Actor of the Week: Nestor Serrano
This is a very obscure reference but have any of you seen the movie Hanging with the Homeboys? As I look back on the movie now it’s technically a really really bad movie. I mean it stars Mario Joyner for Christ’s sake. Still though it’ll always hold a place in my heart because I saw it when I was a kid and just remember thinking it was a fun movie about four friends having a night out on the town.
One of my favorite characters in that movie was definitely “Vinny” who was played by Nestor Serrano. And you ever notice when you really like a character from one movie it’s always awesome to see him in another? Well that’s what happened with Serrano. After first seeing Hanging with the Homeboys I then started to see Serrano crop up in more and more flicks and it was awesome.
Turns out that Serrano is no spring chicken and he’s got over 80 credits between movies and TV. He’s ton a lot of TV and always seems to get these decent little bit parts in movies but the guy is always effective.
I just wanted to give Serrano a shout out and as usual I’ve shared a clip of him:
“You gotta call me Vinny.” Look at this cast! You gotta love this flick.
