Robert Arevalo

         In an industry were Hispanics are few and far in between, Robert Arevalo is paving a way for himself as a strong creative talent in Hollywood with a list of impressive credits. While working as a messenger on the 20th Century Fox lot, Arevalo met the fresh young director Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi). Arevalo was then offered the unforgettable role of the guy with the broken leg in the 1995 blockbuster Desperado.

He went on to guest star on Fox's Space: Above and Beyond, played Ernest Borgnine's nephew on NBC's The Single Guy, made a guest appearance as a boxer in HBO's Arliss, guest starred in NBC's Days of Our Lives, and appeared for the second time with Salma Hayek in the romantic comedy Fools Rush In. Arevalo will be seen co-starring in the upcoming ABC movie of the week the Runaway Virus in January 2000. As a writer/director, Arevalo has established his own production company "A Done Deal Films," which will focus on film projects. He recently wrote and directed his first project, Nick Nitro is the Investigator, a slapstick comedic film set in the 1970's. It can be seen in various film festivals across the country. Robert is also broadening his comedic flare writing and directing commercial spots as well as music videos for the Spanish/English and Japanese markets. Arevalo's mission is to take a fresh, hands-on approach as a filmmaker, and gather a pool of unknown, Latino talent whom otherwise would continue to go unnoticed by the current regime in Hollywood.
