Benjamin Bratt
Benjamin Bratt broke through as Detective Rey Curtis on 'Law & Order' (1995-1999), a role that made him a household face in nineties America. Born in San Francisco in 1963 to a Peruvian mother of Quechua descent, he has moved fluidly between mainstream comedy and harder drama: the FBI agent romancing Sandra Bullock in 'Miss Congeniality' (2000), a drug lord's enforcer in 'Traffic' (2000), and the poet Miguel Piñero in 'Piñero' (2001), perhaps his most personal work. To younger audiences he is the voice of the charming fraud Ernesto de la Cruz in Pixar's 'Coco' (2017).
