Emilio Rivera (Chemma Tejada) - other roles

Post by librarian_7 »

Just spotted him in a trailer for the movie "Next Day Air"...and looking at his credits, he's been in LOTS of things.

I saw Emilio Rivera (Tejada) on Sons of Anarchy last night. According to IMDB, he's been on 12 episodes.

OH, yes....he is in several episodes. The show is in its third season and I have seen him regularly.

He even said in the last SOA episode "You come to my house....." (Sound familiar?)

Just watched "Collateral" tonight, starring Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise. Emilio Rivera played a bad guy... and looked almost exactly as he did on Moonlight. The movie was released in 2004. By the way, Collateral is REALLY good. Gritty and scary and suspenseful.

Emilio is on The Mentalist tonight playing a mob enforcer. The episode is 4.09 - "The Redshirt." Patrick Jane scared him into talking in a way that really brought to mind the interrogation in LLF. :devil:

Thanks Lilly. I recognized him on The Mentalist tonight too, although I didn't know the actor's name.

He is the sweetest man, VERY mannerly...gives a great hug. Sister had her photo taken with him and he signed it.

Before he posed he signed her Motorcycle club vest and made a joke about signing it on the back lower hip....that it was the best place to be. Then the guys went to a comedy night to mingle with the crowd, but we didn't make it there....

Last night, Emilio tweeted this cool photo of himself with Jacob Vargas: https://twitter.com/#!/EmilioRivera48/s ... to/1/large

Two ML alums looking very good. :yes:

Oooh! I LOVE that pic! Jacob was rockin' the mysterious and handsome, and Emilio was doing his best arrogant staredown. :teeth:

Does anyone know when the Nick Kroll show will air?

I found references to the comedian getting a comedy sketch show on Comedy Central in 2012 but not an air date.

And...I went to see Act of Valor today. I was interested because of the Navy SEAL connection, but to my suprise, found a Moonlight connection, too.

Our old friend Tejada was in the film as, yeah, a Mexican drug cartel guy.

I'm watching through the episodes of "Lie to Me," and Emilio was in a first season ep, "Blinded," playing a prison guard.

This is a REALLY creepy episode.

Emilio has a major role in Richard Montoya's new movie Water and Power, which was screened Saturday and Sunday, October 12th and 13th, at the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival. Here's a review from the LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/mo ... 9606.story

I'm a huge fan of Richard Montoya. His theater group Culture Clash does brilliantly funny political and cultural satire.

Here's the theatrical trailer for Water and Power, which will be shown in selected theaters in Southern California starting May 2, 2014. Jacob Vargas also has a (smaller) role in the film, and appears in the trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUJ4gBj4XJg

And an extended interview with Richard Montoya, who wrote and directed the film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FTRtcrftmc
