So far I've yet to see him in something where he either doesn't nail his role or transcend it entirely. He was solid in a small role in "Walk in the Clouds". His comedic turn in "Can't Hardly Wait" was hilarious (especially when he's talking about his g/f's parents having mirrors above their bed) and he had a great impression in a tiny role in Payback. Then recently I saw him in Bottle Shock and he was very good.
This guy deserves a lot more roles but that's hispanics in Hollywood for you. He will need to probably go off-screen and do some dramatic stage work before he gets taken seriously like Leguizamo did. Unfair but that's a tough glass ceiling to crack.

Agree with you. Freddy Rodriguez is highly underrated. I think he's producing now trying to find projects that suit his need as an actor. I can't wait for him to get more recognition.

I came across this thread as I watch Harsh Times right now, and it's because i'm having the same reaction. I liked him before, but he really earned my respect and interest after with this one. Along with Bale, definitely the brightest light in an otherwise average movie.
