The Seventy-Sixth One... and Alejandro Patiño

Episode 76 and Wendi and Dfernando's guest interview is actor and producer Alejandro Patiño.

Alejandro Patiño was born and raised in Southern California. Since it was expected that he would take over the family business (they owned a successful Market Deli in Compton), he decided to enter college as a Business Major. It was there that he discovered the theater department and dove into acting and dancing. After doing a handful of background work on some classic television series like HILL STREET BLUES, he then chose to take things more seriously and focused on a career as an actor.

On television he is known for his recurring role of Ralph, Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria)’s gardner, on the long-running ABC series DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, as well as Cesar on the FX series THE BRIDGE. He has also appeared on numerous television series including Amazon Prime’s BOSCH, BET+’s THE FAMILY BUSINESS, CBS’ MEDIUM, MY NAME IS EARL, Showtime’s WEEDS, the Coen Brothers’ Netflix THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS, RAISING HOPE, HOUSE, ROSWELL, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, ER, and THE SHIELD.

On film he is known for his leading role as Ernesto (opposite Matt Bomer) in John Butler’s PAPI CHULO. He has also appeared in numerous films including BOWFINGER, THE HEARTBREAK KID, LOWER LEARNING, FAST & FURIOUS, ROBBING PETER, DREAM, THE RUNAWAYS, IRON MAN 2, THE KID & I, DELTA FARCE, SHELTER, and most recently as Nacho in the multi-award winning SAMLAND.

Also on Episode 76, Wendi and Dfernando do some catching up after a short hiatus and some new announcements: Season 8 of RENO 911! premieres on the Roku Channel and Season 3 of BIG CITY GREENS premieres on Disney Channel (and a Season 4 has been confirmed!). Plus a little behind-the-scenes moment during the filming of an episode THE GOLDBERGS concerning the song "Hard Habit to Break" by the band Chicago.
