So, crankyjewishguy (CJG) is sitting at this beach front surfer shack called Sonia Rican on spectacular Jobos Beach in Puerto Rico while his older son orders something like his tenth meal of the day even though it's only lunchtime, when this very distinctive looking fellow sits down next him and CJG knows he's this actor he's seen a million times but of course can't remember his name. But CJG says hello and asks him if he's the actor he's seen a million times whose name he doesn't remember and sure enough CJG's celebrity antennae is right on. As CJG and his family get up to leave, CJG says goodbye to the actor and the actor wishes CJG a Merry Christmas, which is too bad because then CJG has to tell him not everyone celebrates Christmas. Some of us are Jewish, you know. Then the actor says, "geez, what a cranky jewish guy," and CJG is like, "wow, I can't believe you recognize me from my blog." What the actor says next you can't print on the Internet. Actually, he was a real mensch, which, in Yiddish, means a person of high character and integrity, or more simply, a good guy.
Anyway, CJG looked him up when he got back to the place he's staying. Like CJG, this actor was born here, but raised in the upper 48. His name is Luis Guzman. He's been in tons of movies (Traffic, Boogie Nights, and Anger Management to name a few) and TV shows (Miami Vice, NYPD Blue). CJG recommends that you not mess with the Guzman.
