Andy Garcia: Hollywood Premiere
built 222 days ago
Garcia began acting at Florida International University, but went soon after to Hollywood. He started to perform in very short roles, and worked as waiter and in a warehouse when he had no job in the film industry. His chance arose when he was offered a role as a gang member in the first episode of the popular TV series Hill Street Blues. Director Brian de Palma liked his performance in the 1986 movie 8 Million Ways to Die and engaged him the following year for The Untouchables, which made Garcia a popular Hollywood actor. In 1989, Francis Ford Coppola was casting The Godfather Part III. The character Vincent Corleone, the son of Sonny Corleone, was an exceptional part which many actors wanted.

Like many other struggling actors who dream of stardom, Garcia was attracted to Hollywood, the hub of the movie industry. In 1978 he moved to what he referred to Hollywood. He worked as a waiter to earn a living while he auditioned for parts. In 1980 he secured a role with an improvisational group at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles. It was there that a casting agent for the television series Hill Street Blues spotted him. That discovery enabled him to land a role as a gang member in the pilot episode of the show in 1981.
