“Los Beltrán para Burbank van,
Los Beltrán para Burbank van.”

 

 

 

 

Emiliano Diez, or “Papi” as I like to call him, is one of the most fearless actors with whom I ever had the pleasure to work.  He starred in the ground-breaking Spanish language series, “Los Beltrán” in 1999 and 2000, many episodes of which I was fortunate to get to direct (and no, I don’t really speak Spanish – another post for another day).  Those two seasons were among the most pleasurable experiences I ever had.  Papi would try anything — he might question it, but only to fully understand it, and if it wasn’t right, he’d find a way to fix it – and make it better.  
I had the great pleasure to work with him again on “Anger Management” (during which I captured this image).  He is still actively working, and I can not more sing his praises him more.
