A tough and slightly surly character actor most at home in ethnically oriented Hollywood roles, John Ortiz often found himself cast as nefarious hoods and toughs. Ortiz landed one of his earliest assignments with a 1992 guest appearance on Law & Order, then branched out into A-list supporting roles in such features as Carlito's_Way (1993), Ransom (1996), Piñero (2001), and Miami_Vice (2006). Ortiz essayed two extremely different cinematic assignments in 2007: a part in the Ridley_Scott-directed period crime drama American_Gangster and one in the sci-fi-horror opus Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.
