My Take
Jesse Borrego is the kind of actor I quietly admire more than the headliners. A San Antonio kid who studied locally and built a career from the ground up, he gave us Cruz in Blood In Blood Out and memorable turns in Fame, 24, and Dexter. What strikes me is the warmth and lived-in authenticity he brings to Chicano roles; he doesn't dominate a scene so much as ground it. There's craftsmanship in working steadily across stage, television, and film for decades without chasing celebrity. I think character actors like Borrego deserve far more recognition than the industry usually grants them.
