Excerpt of Felix Pitre's HOLA's 25th Anniversary
Party at The Players Club
"Just when I thought I was lost in a maze of past auditions I bumped
into Manny Siverio, stunt man/actor, a rugged, handsome and appealing young
man who was remarkably well spoken for someone who probably had been tossed
out of more windows than a pan of dirty basin water in a Fellini flick.
He spoke intelligently about the support that HOLA provides for Latinos
trying to break the barriers both in front and behind the cameras."
